Anyone know the best paint colour match or the BMW paint code/no. to touch the wheels up on my E92 325i? Car is UK spec.
Cleaning it earlier & noticd a scuff on rim of one of the fronts:mad: It's too small to get it done prof. but big enough to bug me Car is Space Grey with Star Spoke 185 wheels. |

I have used Titanium Silver on the previous E46s wheels (18" V spokes), was a good match. Fortunately I haven't needed to touch the current E46s wheels. I also used a Peugeot silver in the past which was also very good.

You can get a wheel silver touch up stick from your dealer. I think BMW use 5 different types of silver paint for their wheels, and they do a touch up stick for each time. M-sport, individual, chromeline, brilliant line etc.

If they are factory alloys there is a good change Wurth will match; it's the same paint used on almost all stock German wheels.
http://www.autopia-carcare.com/wus-892181.html I use it for almost all the wheel repair I do. I am not sure if they sell it in the UK. |
