That's topaz. Not very unique TBH, only on every other Z3 made.Perhaps. It looked a bit more "pastel".
Definitely Topaz.

Absolutely. I always laugh when people advertise a 'rare colour' car. Unless it was a limited run, or an individual very expensive colour, it's rare because no-one wanted it.
Not necessarily, Z3 s in aegean blue are quite rare, so too palmetto and that turquoise colour, but very nice. Mind you any brown car, whatever fancy name they call it, you can keep!
Can not tell from the photo but couls this be a Velvet Blue? If yes then is is a rare one.
Velevet and Byzance were special order and depending on interior sometimes were 1 of 1.
Not that it matters anyway, they are still Z3s, undervalued and adored only by some few weird people at a British Forum.

Topaz can be a stunning colour, but it's certainly not unique.
But it depends on the sunshine. On a dull day, it's a dull colour:
But on a sunny day, it pops!

That solves it - I saw it under the roof in a petrol station and it did not pop like I expected From Topaz Blue.
Wow - what do you use to get that beautiful finish?
A while back (so won't have the very latest colours) I was doing an exercise to see what BMW colours were available and created this spreadsheet
