Sorry if this is listed somewhere on the forum already but I was wondering if any one know's of a link or has a pdf of all the classic BMW colours... I'm about to update a white 1985 323i Baur and fancied a change.

thanks in advance.

Don't forget if you ordered a car new from BMW via the boutique service you could have it in any colour you wanted.
