OEM Paint Color? Please Help!

[dandigiacomo]

Hello all. I have a 1984 - 318i. It's a beige color and I'm looking to repaint it. I can't find a color code ANYWHERE on my car. Does anyone have some advice for me? Where can I find BMW paint codes? THANKS! Have an awesome night!

I've been trying to find a good website that has paint codes with colors next to them , but didn't have much success. I was able to find this site, it's usefull if you know the name of the color you're looking for.

If the sticker is readable the name of the color is on the drivers side strut tower. In 1985 there was Gazelle Beige (code 128) a standard color, a Bronzit Beige (code 139), and Bahama Beige (code 170). The last two are metallics. This comes from my old dealer provided color and upholstery guide (1/85) from way back when I bought my then new 1985 318i. Hope this helps even though its for 1985 models.
