BMW 635 Touch Up Paint (15 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

The BMW 635 is a legend of the "Shark Nose" era, and its wardrobe definitely matches that executive-cool vibe. We've recorded 15 distinct colors for this classic, ranging from the business-ready Arctic Blue Metallic to the quintessential 80s gold of Bronzit Beige Metallic. They even gave us the vibrant Cinnabar (or Zinnoberrot for the purists) for those who wanted their grand tourer to scream. While the palette leans heavily into the metallic grays and blues, it's a masterclass in German sophistication-very "I own a car phone and a lot of hairspray."

What to Watch For

Before you start dabbing, you need to find your "recipe." Pop the hood and look at the driver's side strut tower (the metal dome where the suspension connects); you should see a small black sticker with the color name and a three-digit code. These cars were built during a transitional era for paint tech, so you'll likely see some clear coat "lifting" or peeling on the hood, roof, and trunk where the sun hits hardest. If you have the non-metallic Cinnabar Red, it's famous for wanting to turn into a pale pink-but don't worry, your touch-up paint will bring that deep crimson soul back to life.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since most 635 colors like Delphin Metallic or Royal Blue are packed with tiny metallic flakes, your bottle of touch-up paint is basically a snow globe. You need to shake that bottle for at least 60 seconds-longer than you think-to wake up the silver bits at the bottom. When applying, don't try to fill a deep chip in one go. Apply three or four very thin layers, letting them dry like a fingernail between coats. This builds "depth" and makes sure the metallic flakes sit evenly rather than clumping together in a dark spot. Patience is your best tool here!
