BMW 1 Series paint code questions

How many colours did the BMW 1 Series come in?

Our catalogue records 60 factory paint codes for the BMW 1 Series between 2004 and 2021, most of them blue (17).

Two BMW 1 Seriess look the same colour — do they share a code?

Not necessarily. BMW often sold several shades of the same colour in one year, and a touch-up in the wrong one shows. Check the code for your own car by its registration.

What is a recent BMW 1 Series paint code?

668 (Gloss Black Solid) is among the latest, recorded up to 2021.
