[matt_chase]

Hi can anybody help me with which white my 1987 318i is?

I thought it was Alpine White but somebody told me thats 91> colour...??

Any Ideas? Cheers Matt.

there are 2 alpine whites...

Alpine White I
Alpine White II

no idea which year is what.

Have you tried looking on the passenger side front suspension turret under the bonnet, there should be a label with the paint code name on it.

it will be alpineweiss 2

IS came in the later white, red, diamondschwartz or blue

brilliant red and lazer blue.

both look stunning too especailly the blue, very sutble, looks almost black form a sitance, but a deep midnight metallic when the sun is on it......very cool indeed

It will be Alpine White 1,

I think Alpine White 2 only came on facelift cars?

[Dan318-is]

he says he got a 87 IS that is facelift aint it?

[Jimbob]

[Dan318-is]

If you need an anoraks opinion! (according to the guide books)

82 - 85, Alpine White I (paint code 146)
85 - 87, (chrome bumper model) Alpine White II (paint code 218)
88 - 90, (plastic bumper model) Alpine White I
90 onwards, Alpine White II

Hope this helps.

The paint code label on my 94 Touring states Alpineweiss III with code 300/01.
Are there 3 alpine whites?

Waaaah? This is too confusing - just bought an '88 Alpine White 320i - does that mean its Alpine uno, dos, or tres? Help me...................................parp.

[Jim78]

It's no.2 - I checked the label in the engine bay, but mine is a second-half 1988 which should be no.1 according to the above no?. (Surely no.2 should be brown...?)

Alpine white 2 is a sharp,crisp white like fresh mountain snow. Alpine white 1 looks a yellow white,like snow that the mountain bears have wee'd in...
