HI, I've ordered at BMW dealer 1liter circa of montrealblau paint (#297), because I need to repaint my front bumper.
After a week they call me telling that it is not being produced anymore, so they can't do nothing...:eek:

It's my dealer bad or is true?

How is there in USA?

code number should be : 51 91 0 027 665

please tell me something great... otherwise I have not excuse to paint all car to Avus:D

You can go to a shop with the paint code (3 numbers - its on your tower) and that'll make it up for ya!

O/T: but any chance of a full size pic of your avatar?

You can also go to an automotive paint store.
Give the the code for your paint, or they have
a book with color squares for you to look in.
Then they will mix it up for you.

Yes, but is not in project soon...

damn, I hope that they'll stop making other colors too:embarrasm:devillook

but there isn't a time from last car built (ex: 10 years) until bmw must produce all spares for that car?

(sorry if I can't explain better... bad English, but I think that you'll understand the question..)

From what I understand with parts for older cars it all depends on what part. From what you were told paint might only be available for a limited time. I think fabric is onlt available for a certain time.

My dealer told me that generaly most mechanical parts are available for older cars - ie 30 yrs old.

It can usually always be color matched by mixing it. Check some other places first like if you have a body shop or something.

I found a little shop that do quality tuning works and paint jobs...
they matched easily my colour by color code, removed old paint and repainted it for the equivalent of 45$... (paint and included in that price)

The guy worked years ago in Germany for a great know tuning shop..

Is a great deal (45$)? How much is there in USA for a bumper REpaint?

This is cheaper than others in my zone and is better done!
Quality is perfect! I'll put some pictures... :biggrin

I should ask him how much it want to repaint all the car:D
