How to read this table

The paint code is the manufacturer's identifier for that color, and it is what a paint supplier needs to mix an exact match. Some colors show extra codes underneath (“also”): these are variants recorded for the same color, for example alternate formulas or production variants. Start with the main code and confirm it against the label on your car or with your VIN. The same color name can carry different codes in different years, so the model-year column matters.

Where to find the paint code on your BMW

Check the driver's door jamb first: most manufacturers put a label there that includes the paint code, often marked paint, color or ext. If it is not there, try the glovebox, the trunk area, and under the hood. If the label is gone, a dealer can decode your VIN. See the full BMW paint code guide for more.

Other BMW models

Color names, codes and model-year ranges come from public reference listings (chiefly ChipFixx) and may contain gaps or errors. Always verify against your vehicle's label or VIN before ordering paint. Spot a mistake? Let us know.
