BMW iX1 Touch Up Paint (13 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

BMW really went for it with the iX1, giving us 13 distinct ways to coat this electric adventurer. We aren't just looking at standard greys here; we have high-energy options like Utah Orange Effect, the lush Sanremo Green Pearl, and the complex Blue Bay Lagoon Effect. It's a sophisticated palette that proves "electric" doesn't have to mean "boring." Whether you're rocking the classic Alpinweiss III or the deep Black Saphir, your car is wearing some of the most advanced pigment tech BMW has ever put on the road.

What to Watch For

Here's the deal: modern BMW clear coats are environmentally friendly, which is great for the planet, but it means the finish is a bit on the "soft" side. This makes the iX1 a bit of a magnet for tiny stone chips on the hood and "love marks" around the door handles. You'll find your secret weapon-the 3-digit paint code-on a black sticker inside the driver's side door jamb. It's usually tucked near the bottom of the VIN plate. Keep a close eye on the flared wheel arches and the lower rear bumper; since this is a "Sports Activity Vehicle," those areas tend to take the brunt of the road debris.

Driveway Repair Tip

Because many of these colors (like Cape York Grun or Space Silver) are "Effect" or "Pearl" paints, the metallic flakes like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. **Shake your touch-up pen or bottle for a full 60 to 90 seconds**-far longer than you think you need-to wake up those sparkles. When applying, don't try to fill the chip in one go. Think of it like building a sandwich: apply one thin layer, wait 15 minutes, and then add another. If you're working with Frozen Pure Grey, that matte finish requires extra patience-apply the tiniest amount possible to keep the repair from looking too shiny compared to the rest of the panel.
