as much as i hate to say it but if you get halfords to mix the paint not of the shelf the match is very good used some on my bright red and my mates laguna green

bmw dealer will sell small 150ml cans thatll match perfectly. the halfords option is pot luck depending on the bozo doing the mixing.

Remove the fuel cap door and take that to a good paint shop for them to do a match on it. My halfords mauritius blue wasn't quite a match but I guess it all depends on the person doing it for you.

iirc halford did me a pefect match once, but fooked up twice. bmw was spot on with their colour match.
