Paint Codes For BMW

BMW paint codes normally have three digits, and sometimes have a slash followed by a fourth digit. Paint code tags are normally placed under the hood and either on one of the strut towers or fender edges such as position one and two. The paint color code can also be located on the right side and slightly lower then the fender on the engine wall. 472  is the color code for this BMW and 275 is for the other one. The name of the car color is also on the same tag. I have seen them spelled out in both English and German. 

These colors are available in touch up paint, spray paint, and ready to spray paint for larger quantities. This is a photo of a tag from an actual BMW car.
