Does anyone have the paint codes to the 3 colored M stripes? I'm thinking of doing something fun on my intake plenum chamber.
The three traditional and completely correct BMW Motorsport colors are:
Pantone Process Blue (PMS 859)
Pantone Violet (PMS 268)
Pantone Warm Red (PMS 836)
Some people choose a dark blue like Reflex Blue (PMS 852) to replace Violet 268 and a darker red.
BMW (approximate and/or accepted equivalent) colors:
Light Blue GLASURIT-BMW 5002
Blue Violet GLASURIT-BMW 4000
Red GLASURIT-BMW 353

Yes, and once that partnership ended, BMW paid for use of the "Texaco red" and continues to use it today.The Blue is obviously the Bavaria Blue in the Flag of the region, the Red was/is actually the Texaco who sponsored BMW back in the 70's. The Purple was decided the colour that blended the two nicely and the M-Power stripes were born.
