How to Find Your 2018 BMW's Color Code

BMW paint color codes appear in varied spots: on the firewall, on the radiator support, on the door jamb, or in the trunk. Location varies by year; a diagram under Finding Your Color Code shows where. Typical code format example: 300, which corresponds to: Alpine White III Clearcoat. Same Color Code, Different Name: the same paint can have different names across models (e.g., 300 also called White Clearcoat, Premium White Clearcoat). The code is key to correct paint.

2018 BMW Background Info

The 2018 BMW Vibe

Welcome to 2018: the year the M4 was the ultimate flex, the i8 still looked like it was from the year 3000, and the X5 became the official chariot of the suburban elite. In the paint booth, BMW wasn't just playing around-our database shows a staggering 79 colors for this year alone. It was a time of "Look at Me" metallics and pearls that shifted in the light. We're talking about high-voltage hits like Snapper Rocks Blue Metallic, the glowing Austin Yellow Metallic, and that legendary Yas Marina Blue. Whether it's a 2 Series or a 7 Series, 2018 was about depth, shimmer, and making sure the guy in the next lane knew exactly how much you spent on your "Individual" options.

Paint Health Check

By 2018, the era of the "Salty Painter" had met its match: Robot Efficiency. These cars weren't sprayed by Hans in a lab coat; they were coated by high-precision 7-axis robots programmed to use as little product as possible while maintaining a showroom shine. The result? The Thin Paint Era. While the clear coat is hard as a rock, it's thinner than a gym membership's fine print. This makes your 2018 Bimmer a magnet for stone chips, especially on those massive front bumpers and the leading edge of the hood. If you're seeing "cellulite" or orange peel in the reflection of your Sakhir Orange II, don't panic-that's just the factory texture from a machine that prioritizes speed over a hand-rubbed finish.

Restoration Tip

When you're patching a chip on a 2018, remember the Golden Rule of the thin-paint era: Build layers slowly; don't blob it. Because the factory finish is so thin, a single heavy "glob" of touch-up paint will sit on the surface like a pimple. Instead, use a fine-tipped applicator to dab a tiny amount of basecoat into the center of the chip. Let it dry, then add another. You want to fill the crater until it's just below the level of the surrounding clear coat. This keeps the repair flush and prevents that "polka-dot" look that ruins the lines of a clean M3 or X6.
