I had a Topaz blue coupe, withe the tan and black interior. Nice color combination.

Ive seen this car on the LA craigslist! Its from the dealer in Reseda right? Its an 06 though, not an 05. Priced at $13,600 (for those interested). That dealer seems to bring in a lot of manual BMWs, but I've always noticed that they price them slightly on the high side, plus they oversaturate their photos, so their cars dont look as "crisp" in person. Its a beautiful color combo, with a manual at that, but search around a little. Best of luck!

It's Mystic Blue. BMW discontinued Topaz after 2002 and replaced it with Mystic.
I thought my 2002 Touring (see below) was Mystic when I first bought it, but a forum member suggested I look a the paint code and it was indeed Topaz.

Mystic is a slightly "cooler," less saturated blue, but it's a subtle difference and can easily be swamped by the difference in the lighting of any given photo.
(Ironically, Mystic is the one blue missing from those hood samples above)
They're both cool colors though.
