You need to check the BMW paint code in the engine bay to get the correct match, should be on one of the strut towers. Even with the code, you won't get an exact colour match if you are getting paint mixed unless you bring in something they can check the colour match off, e.g petrol flap. BMW supply original touch up paints, fine for touching up stone chips, small scratches.
