Does anyone know the actual paint codes/names for the M-stripes?

Are they bm only colours or standard that I can get in a can?

Thanks, Mark. :D

Well have you seen my bonnet? It needs some TLC and when I cut the vent I planned on respraying a portion of it in the M-colours. I expect some "don't do it comments" but I'm modding my car, so not going for the "classic" look.
And TBH if it looks that bad, I'll get it sprayed by a pro.....
Just an idea so I can atleast cover the bare metal and tidy it up some.......I keep thinking about having a rear sunblind too, poss "My e30 sucks hard!" on the rear screen, give the losers something to think about while they lag behind :lol:

I bought an already painted grill off ebay 2 months ago. Couldnt believe no one else bidded on it at the time. Ԛ£15.... very professional finish...looks the dogs danglies !! :wan: However in the ad he stated the name of the colours and they werent off the shelf colours I'm afraid.
I hope I'm wrong for yous sake.

Peejay. :woohoo:
