Location of paint codes on many BMW models

Model: BMW BMW Various
Part: Body

Video tutorial

In this video, we can see where the identification plate for the paint colour of BMW cars is located: the YouTuber shows us the large rectangular plate on which the commercial name of the colour, assigned by BMW to this vehicle, is clearly stated, specifically "spacegrau Metallic". The plate is located under the bonnet, in the part that lifts up. Certainly, the name is an indication, but if you want to be precise with your bodyshop, you need to check the two plates next to it: on one of them, the codes PAINT = exterior colour (usually a number) and TRIM = upholstery colour (usually an alphabetical code) are definitely indicated.

Communicate that code to your bodyshop and you will be sure to find the exact colour.
