Thumbs up

My Paint code under the hood is Titangrau II Metallic

but when I applied little paint (just yesterday to fix some stone chips at the front hood) that I bought from THE BMW dealer last year called 893 Titangrau Met it did not match (it is much darker when I applied it ) as I am wondering if there is a difference between the Titangrau and Titangrau II????

Thanks

That's not you paintcode but the explanatory text. Please check for something like "A08" which will tell you what colour it is!

check on the e60.net -> information -> color
there's indeed two different titanium gray, the more recent one is TiAG II, the version I is from the earlier model and i've read somewhere that it has a greenish tone to it.

they are indeed different. again check the e60.net info page and there's some picture that shows them.

Thanks for the great info kchan, indeed there is a difference as the 892 color code (titangrau I) is darker then the color code A36 (titangrau II). I need to buy the A36 for my touch-ups!
Onmy way to the dealer now
