Just done an hour of searching for what paint to get for my BBS RS's as I'm about to restore them. And i just can't find a definitive answer.

Reflex silver
Volkswagen/Audi color L8Z8.
Titanium silver

I've heard it all.

But does anyone know what colour BMW actually used back in the day? Or is it a get it as close a possible?

Cheers.

Any one know where I can source some of this, or can a shop easily make this up?

Need a 2k version.
