Hi,

If I were to buy BMW paintstick/Touchup Paint what color would be a Match??

Help greatly appreciated!

Would this be the Match?? BMW Touchup Paint Stick- Silver Metallic (RIM)

+1 on Bavarian Auto (bavauto) Need to pick up a kit myself for the 197's on my wife's car.

You won't find a match at Autozone but Wurth makes a matching color. Should be able to order from their website.

Get the BavAuto kit or Wurth, as mentioned above.

If you want to go econo, I went to O'Reilly's (Kragen) Auto. They had various Duplicolor touchup paint in silver. I went with the Bright Silver for Hyundais (HY 01800). Seems to match pretty well.
