That doesnt look like stock BMW paint, but I may be wrong. It looks like Nogaro Blue to me, which is found on Audis... of course I could be wrong.

I am a member on several BMW forums, so I am asking around there... It could be Leguna Seca blue, I am not sure. Once you find out the name, you can go here: http://www.my330i.com/paints.php to get the paint code. I'll let you know what I find out on the DTM forums :D

It does not have to be a BMW paint at all. It can be from any company!

Hey Acura... actually, just check this forum:

Suprisingly, there's been some debate about this exact car before....
If you have the paint code, any paint store should be able to mix it for you.

That links goes to another link... crazy, eh?
The closest FACTORY color that you are going to get is Audi's Nogaro Blue or Avus Blue, that's the closest factory... but it's a custom color.
the blue is a custom tri-stage pearl. Thats all i can say
I think the Nogaro and Avus blue's are both great colors. Let us know what you decide. Are you painting the car yourself?

No, somebody is going to do it for me so i have to tell him what color i want first and then see if he can find it. Is there a big difference between Nogaro Blue & avus BLue?

Actually i might try to look for a custom color that is close to that BMW cause I love that color! The Civic Si is some what close to that

DUDE any reputable paint shop has a big book FULL of paint colors... most will blend you ANY color you want...

just tell them you want ppg paint and it to look like the color in the picture. If they can't do that your at the wrong paint shop.
