As with most car manufacturers, BMW paint color codes can be found in several locations.

The most popular location to find the BMW paint code is on the left side of the engine bay. You will find the paint code on the label near the strut tower.

On newer BMWs, the paint code is printed on a sticker that has the VIN number on the driver's door jamb.

Here is another example of the BMW paint code which in this case can be found on the VIN sticker on the driver's door jamb.

Finding the BMW paint color code is very easy. Use the paint code to order BMW touch up paint. 

If you don't have the vehicle present but you have the registration, call your local BMW dealer and ask them to look up the color code by VIN. The VIN number is a 17 digit number printed on your registration.
