Where is the paint code on a BMW?

Sticker on the driver's door pillar (door jamb) or under the bonnet on the suspension strut tower. Most BMW paint codes are 3 characters long, letters and numbers. The same code may be called the colour code, the color code or the paint code number. See where to find your car's paint code for every make.

A global paint code check for every BMW

Paint codes are set by BMW, not by the country, so a BMW sold in the UK, Europe, the USA, Australia or the Middle East uses the same code for the same colour. We support cars from all over the world: enter a UK registration, enter the VIN of a car from any country, or choose the model, year and colour. You get the factory paint codes for your car's colour, model and year, with where the label is, on screen and by email, for £3.99. If the code isn't in our database yet, we find it by hand and email it to you within 2 working days.

BMW paint code FAQs

Where is the paint code on a BMW?
Sticker on the driver's door pillar (door jamb) or under the bonnet on the suspension strut tower. The paint code is the manufacturer's code for the exact shade, also called the colour code (color code).

How do I find my BMW paint code?
Enter your UK reg or the car's VIN, or choose your BMW model, year and colour on this page. We list the factory paint codes BMW used for that colour on that model and year, with where the label is, for £3.99.

Can I find my BMW paint code by VIN?
Yes, for a BMW from any country. Enter the VIN (chassis number): we fill in what it tells us and you choose the rest, with the colour.

Do you cover BMW cars outside the UK?
Yes. Paint codes are set by BMW, not by the country, so they are the same wherever the car was sold. We support cars from all over the world: 501 BMW colours across 103 models from 1983 to 2025 in our database, and any other paint code found by hand and emailed within 2 working days.

Is a BMW colour code the same as a paint code?
Yes. Colour code, color code, paint code and paint code number are all names for the code of the exact factory shade.
