BMW M4 Touch Up Paint (58 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

BMW didn't just give the M4 a bigger grille; they gave it a wardrobe with 58 different outfits. They really went for it with the palette, moving from the "look-at-me" Austin Yellow Metallic and the neon-adjacent Sao Paulo Yellow to the legendary Yas Marina Blue. If you prefer things a bit more subtle, you've likely got the classic Alpine White III or one of the many "50 shades of grey" like Brooklyn Gray or Dravite Grey. Whether yours is a Pearl, a Metallic, or one of those stealthy "Frozen" matte finishes, your car was designed to turn heads-not show off rock chips.

What to Watch For

Because the M4 is built to go fast, it has a magnetic relationship with road debris. You'll likely find "speed kisses"-otherwise known as rock chips-all over the front bumper and the hood. BMW paint is famously gorgeous but notoriously soft, meaning things like bird droppings can etch the clear coat if left too long. Keep a close eye on the edges of the bumpers; if a repair was ever done previously, that's where you might see the clear coat start to get shy and peel. To find your specific color match, open the driver's side door and look for a black sticker on the jamb (the B-pillar). You're looking for a 3-digit code like B39 or C4G.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since many M4 colors are high-tech metallics or tri-coats like San Marino Blue or Mineral White, you need to shake your touch-up bottle for at least 60 seconds to wake up those heavy metallic flakes. When you're filling a chip, think "less is more." Use the tip of a toothpick or a very fine brush rather than the giant brush that comes in the cap. Build the color in thin, light layers. If you have a "Frozen" matte finish, remember that the goal is to fill the hole, not create a shiny mound. Patience is your best friend here-let each layer dry before adding the next so you don't end up with a "blob" that stands out more than the original scratch.
