I want to say Topaz is a color shade darker than Estoril Blue with some navy blue hues to it while the Mediterranean Blue is much deeper with hues of purple in it. With BMW Individual you could always pay a little more to get an F30 in Topaz. I think it'd look great and then you could get the Msport package too as i believe Med Blue isnt offered for the msport trim.

Yes, unfortunately med blue is not available with the M Sport package. But I love the color, so had to get mine with the base package.

I wish M-sport came with it. It would have made estoril blue and Mediterranean a difficult choice

I don't know about the US, but you can order mediterranean blue as a special request here in Europe. I've asked for it here in Belgium for when I order my M-sport F32.
