What would the official color for "tope" be?

[beanboy]

I'm looking into a 98 m3/2 black with "tope" interior, according to the owner. He says that he does not know the official color, but it looks to be a "tope". What official color would this be? He said it's sort of brownish. Would this mean Modena, or what?

Thanks guys,
Parker

I think taupe is that light brown/tan interior.

theirs 3 tan/brown colors, modena(orangeish color), tan(natur, light tan color )only on 99's, and magma(dark brown color)

So do any of you guys have pics of what colors you think this TAUPE might be? I know what Modena sort of looks like, but not the other 2 shades of brown.

Thanks,

Anyway to find the official color through checking the VIN?
Carfax/info4cars.com do not list exterior/interior colors. Anyone know of some place that would?

Thanks,
