mbarnes Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 i am trying to find the paint code for a specific M3 colour. the colour is a greyish one. i have only seen a couple of this shade m3. both with red leather. i think it is this colour: i know it is the darker, more anthracite looking grey, as opposed to the silver colour. anyone know the name of this paint and its paint code? i have found places saying silver grey, and places saying steel grey. BMW's website only list a silver grey, so i am confused. anyone got one in the colour i am looking for so i can see some pics? cheers guys and gals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorburn Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 Thats an M3 CSL and was only available in Steel Grey or Sapphire Black I think. Thats the Steel Grey, don't know if that was available on the normal M3..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewNiceMrMe Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 It's Steel Grey and yes it's a standard colour of choice on the M3 - and very popular too. It looks superb with Imola interior IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top pic of the CSL is in Silver Grey for example. Sterling is something different. Steel Grey is the old Silver Grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CARACTERE 007 Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 the car that "sidicks" has is silver gray, sterling gray has a yellow tinge to it which doesnt show that well in that pic by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
