This page lists 26 factory grey colours for the BMW M3, 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.

Common questions

Where is the paint code on a BMW M3?

On most BMW M3 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.

How many Grey BMW M3 colours are there?

We list 26 factory grey colours for the BMW M3, each with its own paint code. Check the code on your car to choose the right one, as BMW has used more than one grey shade over the years.

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 M3 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.
