Anyone have a document with all possible BMW colors?

There's a wall in a building in germany that has >200+ colors BMW has come out with or created for a BMW Individual customer, but I can't find a picture of the wall or a document which includes all of those colors anywhere.

Anyone have this or know where I can find it?

I was looking for this too a couple months back, since you would think BMW would have this information available .. But I came up empty.

doubt there is anything available that shows "ALL" colors bmw produced that public can obtain. I have seen a pic of the wall your talking about though just not sure where that was.

good thing about bmw indiv is you can request any color you want and will know pretty quickly if they will do it or not.

Try your local dealers. When I was shopping around one dealer had a display with at least 100 diff colors on display including interiors and trim.

Just checked the German BMW approved repair paint system I have access to and there are 986 colours registered to BMW and 307 to BMW Motorcycles.

These would not include special request colours BMW Individual has painted for customers.

Below is a small sample

I have a PDF called "BMW Individual Special Paintwork Collection Guide Part1" and "...Part 2". There must be a newer version somewhere, as the latest colours are missing. If anyone has it, I would love to have a copy!
I will try to attach part 1 and 2.

This is awesome. Could you upload a PDF of a complete list?

If I ever have some spare money lying around (LOL right), I'd like to get my Z4M done in Avus Blue. Wow do I miss that 95 M3.

What I found interesting was the description of the different paint types. For example, metallic is quite distinct from the new pearl paints.

And thanks for the paintref.com link. It's more up to date than the Individual Paint guide I provided.
