How to find BMW color code

BMW paint codes are typically three digit codes though there are a few four and five digit exceptions. BMW vehicles typically have a dedicated paint code sticker on them that has the paint information on it and sometimes the name in English and/or German as well.

The exact location of your car’s paint code is listed in the owner’s manual. The most likely spots are:

  1. On the drivers side under the hood;
  2. By the strut towers;
  3. On the fenders edge;
  4. On the vehicle identification number (VIN) sticker in the driver door jam.
