MINI's Laser Blue Vs. BMW's Estoril blue

Is MINI's Laser Blue similar to BMW's Estoril Blue? How do these compare?

Does anyone have a side by side picture of both?

Thanks in advance.

Never has a side-by-side, but they seem to be damn close. LB seems just a touch lighter and brighter, but the similarities are uncanny.

I had an estoril blue M3 and I now own the Laser blue vert. No, seriously, they aren't very close. The estoril blue had the purplish haze to it in the sunlight. The laser blue is a typical metallic for MINI...outstanding!!
I do not have a side by side, but I can send you pics of both cars taken in the same place at the same time of day if you like.

Estoril blue IMO was the most awesome color! I do love the laser blue as much as it tho. I traded my M3 for a 2005 Hyper blue vert and never looked back!!
