body and interior what should my original colour be?

[larryt]

morning guys,

 

im half way through stripping the car ready to be sent off for bodywork and paint, my question is

 

what should the original colour of the car be and where could i find this information??

 

at the moment its a very nice green colour but i dont believe it is an original colour.

 

there is potential for a full respray in a different colour/ livery but im not sure how much this would decrease the future value

 

thanks

Send an e-mail to the BMW archive group requesting info on your car. You must provide them with the VIN. They usually respond in a day or two and provide the date of manufacture and the original color with color code number.

And, of course, share Archive's data with the forum! ?

 

The one factory '02 color your car currently resembles is Tundra metallic, a fairly rare color.  But the Archives information is definitive.

 

Regards,

hi steve,

 

i did order some tundra paint for my splitter and it was slightly off colour, im not sure if this is because my car was painted a few years back or because of the base coat under my "handy" spray job

 

i will let everyone know

 

thanks again
