hey guys, as the title says. Im getting my front 124 refurbished because the clear bra is peeling off.
The body shop is a pro, they do a lot of wheels, but i want to be 1000% sure that the paint matches my other rims.
Anyhow, does anyone know the paint color code for the 124s? thx

Since this is a professional service can't they scan your wheels for the absolute, correct color? When I took in my car to have the M-Tech kit installed they didn't even go by BMW's coding, they scanned it just in case there had been sun damage during the past two years. There wasn't as it's spent so little time exposed to the sun, but I appreciated that they didn't rely on a color code.
