Does anyone know the code of their color?
I need it urgently to repaint a rim.

If you find out let me know. For rims i Just use a universal silver, I think it's a GM Hypersilver. let me take a pic for you and I'll upload it later. I have the same wheels as you and it matches almost perfectly to that paint.

I made some research and got the following results.

These are all colors for BMW wheels:

- felgensilber - code 144
- reflexsilber - code A44
- dekorsilber - code A55
- chrom-shadow - code A56
- brillantline - code A57
- Ferricgrey

The dealer checked in his program and only 2 of them are for E60: 144(felgensilber) & A44(reflexsilber).
The 144 is the one i have it on my winter wheels and is definitely uglier.

So... i guess it could only be the A44.

Next week have to paint them, and put them back on the car. Summer is coming...
Do u have some more informations?
Maybe together we can solve the mistery.

Sorry been in garage working hard to put up peg-board and organize stuff..

the small bottle is a match i used for a touchup and was a perfect match.
The pint of paint is a match i did with a laser gun on the actual wheel after I cleaned it. I'm re-doing a pair of 7er wheels some chrysler crossfire wheels and wanted the same paint color.
Good luck with repairs, best E60 wheels IMO very concave and aggressive.
Also, what are your offsets on those wheels? Mine look exactly the same but I wasn't aware anyone would have offsets like this they're VERY rare.

ET18 the front ones.
ET32 the rear ones.

Unfortunately here i cannot find these paint tubes.
BUT... i understand the small tube is compatible with codes written on cover: 13, 13S, WA8535, 9284 sylver metallic from General Motors?
Are u very sure it's the same color? Cannot see difference even from close? U know in different paints, on a closer look can see different size of particles inside the paint.

If u say it's absolutely the same, i'm a happy person. Based on that code, tomorrow the specialist will prepare the paint on computer.

Thank you!

Mine are:
ET22 Front 19x9
ET14 Rear 19x10.5

The small tube is VERY close match if not perfect. If you're referring to the flake/metallic in the paint this can be adjusted with a reducer and sprayed out to match if using a gun. I cannot say they're "perfect' bro but I have good eyes, thank god, and I cannot see a difference. I do not spray with the small tube it's a 2 in 1 touch up pen just in case i need it in future on ANY hypersilver wheel. Hypersilver is what most wheels are which would be felgensilber 144

I'm referring especially to the big one, the pint of paint with WA8535 - is it a perfect match to the OEM color?
On the winter tyres i have felgensilber 144 and i don't like it.

AchtungE60

haha sorry. yes the small tube and the pint have the WA8535 I guess I noticed it more on the small tube. I've had the small tube for a long time but after doing the computer laser scan on the wheel it came up with this match (pint) and it happens to be WA8535 the same as the small tube. So really they're like the same which would make sense to me. Don't know if the felgensilber is the same as hypersilver but felgensilber means wheel silver and since most wheels are hypersilver i made the assumption that felgensilber would be the same. don't know actually. but after re-reading slowly the A44 is actually hypersilver

Awsomeeeeeeeeee.
Tomorrow hope to got the paint.

Thanks again !

LE: felgensilber is likely the same with hypersilver, but A44 (Reflex silber) is definitely a different color, and think (but not sure) it's the Style 128 OEM color. And maybe A44 from BMW it's really the same with WA8535 from GM.

Got the code.
I called in Germany at BMW AG and for Spider Spoke 128 rims they have 2 codes:
- Felgensilber 144
- Reflexsilber A44

Mine was A44.
144 is much smoother.
