BMW Paint Code Locator
How to find your BMW paint code?
In order to get your auto body part in the color of your BMW, you will need to provide us with the color code that is found on your car. Here at Painted Auto Body Parts we use that code to determine the exact paint color we have to use for the part, so we can send it to you completely installation-ready.
Depending on your BMW model, the paint color information can be found at different places. Most commonly it is under the hood, on the right side when you are facing the vehicle from the front. If a sticker with the information is not found there, check the strut towers or the edge of the fenders. The code can vary in characters and is not a precise color. Check out the image on the right to see where exactly on the sticker it is located.
Paint Code Examples for BMW: C1D/5, X03
