I only stickers I found were ones to tell me when the car was built under the hood. The sticker in the door jam only gives me tyre pressures. Nothing about the paint codes anywhere. My documentation says A36 Titanium Grey II but thats all. Nowhere on the car can I find this.
This definately is a kit and my name is Michael.

Few days ago I was at my dealer's mechanical workshop and I saw a E91 with a very terrific Blue color (IMHO to avoid), then I asked which color was that ? Which code ?
They open the hood and search for description color plate or sticker: they didn't find anything.
They can answer to my question only after using the key reader where, among other information, they found color code.

Ditto on my UK Spec car, on previous 3 it was easy to find. Will have to call the dealer to find code for Silver Grey.

Can anyone please post a picture of where your paint code sticker or marking is under the hood. I have a Titanium Grey II car which I thought was A36 but today my dealer tells me its A38 and that BMW dont put a sticker on the car with the paint code (idiot).

Anyway on one of the struts or shock blocks I can see the chassis number embossed but no paint code what so ever. A picture showing me your's would help.
I can tell you where to find the label on a 2007 UK spec car.It is BEHIND THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY on the bodywork,not easy to find!

On some models of BMW, I have seen the colour code and description sticker on the *underside* of the hood/bonnet cover.
