BMW 5-SERIES paint codes, matched to the factory colour
This page lists 181 factory colours for the BMW 5-SERIES, each with its own BMW paint code. A touch-up kit mixed to your exact code reproduces the original factory finish, so a repaired stone chip or scratch blends in instead of standing out. Always match to the code — never by eye.
Where to find your BMW paint code
Every BMW carries its colour code on a small plate or sticker — most often in the driver’s door jamb, under the bonnet, or in the boot. It is a short letter-and-number code like the ones shown on the swatches above. Once you have it, pick the matching colour here and your kit is mixed to that exact shade.
Repair it yourself — colour-match guaranteed
Each colour here comes as a complete touch-up kit you apply at home in under an hour: no body-shop booking and no repainting a whole panel. More than 750,000 drivers have fixed their own chips this way. Every kit is colour-match guaranteed, with 30-day money-back and free express shipping worldwide.

Common questions
Where is the paint code on a BMW 5-SERIES?
On most BMW 5-SERIES models the colour code is printed on a sticker in the driver’s-side door jamb; it may also be under the bonnet or in the boot. It is a short alphanumeric code — match your touch-up kit to it exactly rather than choosing by eye.
Will the touch-up paint match my BMW?
Yes — each kit is mixed to your exact factory paint code, not guessed by eye, so it reproduces the original colour. It is colour-match guaranteed; if it is not a match you have 30 days to send it back.
Can I repair a chip or scratch on my BMW 5-SERIES myself?
Yes. Each colour comes as a complete home kit — prep, colour-matched paint, applicator and clear coat — and most chip or scratch repairs take 20–40 minutes plus drying time. No body shop needed.
