    What color is my e31?

    I have been searching all over my car for days for the paint code and i can’t seem to find it anywhere. I checked the door jams, under the windsheild, under the hood, but i cant seem to find any codes. I searched the web on gray e31s produced in the year 1991 and so far I believe that my paint is called SEBRINGGRAU METALLIC. After doing more research, there seems to be only 8 cars that came in this paint. I just want to confirm my suspicions. I used this website http://www.8coupe.com/Colors/ColorSummary.aspx
    If anyone knows where i can find the paint code, feel free to share.

    I'm assuming you don't have a paint code label on the shock tower under the hood? That's where you'll find the paint code. You can also use a vin decoder like this one: https://www.mdecoder.com/ Just put in your last 7 digits of your VIN and it will tell you the color (and some other information).
