Missing individual paint code sticker, am I blind?
I can’t find it anywhere. I have individual San Marino blue but no sticker for paint code.
Any suggestions? |

You're not wrong. Should be in that right side void in the cooling shroud up front.

My 2024 Twilight Purple doesn't have one either. I was looking all over for it too.

they appear to be deleted off every individual car I've seen lately. Clearly weight savings

I supposed not very different from an accident damaged individual car needing the part with the sticker replaced. I doubt BMW issues a new sticker in that case.

I understand as Ive had 13 Ms (with a few indiv colors) and the paint code used to show there, I was just sharing another place to source the code if one wanted to get an official number. The OP asked for suggestions so I read that as asking for an alternative source.
or google LOL

I'm really surprised bmw would not place the sticker. Individual paint isn't cheap. Here's my 2023 San Marino Blue m3, the sticker is visible near the bottom of the photo.

What is the concern here? You know it’s an individual color. With the sticker under the hood no one but you (and people who service your car) will know so why is it important? Just because they stopped using it?

That’s disappointing to hear that they’ve stopped doing this.
It can’t cost much and is an awesome touch. I love it on my ‘22 🇲🇽🔵🏎️ Last edited by RockinPA; 10-10-2023 at 02:10 PM.. |

Individual paint is a special, expensive option. The cost cutting is absurd at this level.
Just checked - mine doesnt have it. Mine also didn't come with the rear caliper logos.

Try reaching out to your SA and see if they can get one made. Someone was able to have them re-printed.

Wow, what a lame little cost cutting move by BMW! At the end of the day, just a sticker, but it’s the little tiny attention to detail items like this that make having an individual color just that much more special, IMHO. Does it stop me from wanting an individual color again, no not at all…but given the cost paid for the paint it would be nice to still get my sticker. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Jeez, how many guys didn’t even notice the sticker wasn’t there before reading this thread and checking.
I do wonder why the change and agree that IF it was a cost thing, that would have been a poor decision by BMW. |
