The label attached to the n/s front suspension strut will have the code on it. bottom left hand corner it will say 181/9 i don't know what thw /9 bit is. As the colour code for diamond black as far as i'm aware is just 181.

def' 181

I had Halfrauds make me up a touch up tin for my car, the guy mixing the paint had a good laugh about the amount of 'pink' paint that went into the mix

I did a similar think when i was in uk b ut got a local paint suppliers/manufactureres to put the original paint from BMW into a spray can, the results will always be better then a touch up brush paint, a little more work but worth the effort.
