does anyone have a list of colour codes?

my Z3 is a metalic Green, i bought a boot lid as advertised as "green". i assumed it would be the same original paint code, but with a different fade - the boot lid doesnt even look metalic its like a camo green.

edit, after anothe google it i found this

i'll put a photo up of my car with the boot on. i cant decide or know which one my car is and or what one the boot is

Open your bonnet and look at the strut towers - on one side (offside?) there is a label with the build date and the other (nearside?) a label with the colour name ;)

It is difficult to perceive the colour mismatch in those pics maybe doing a wider angle shot would show it up better.

Here is a list of all the common and not so common greens that BMW did for the Z3 though so when you have a look under the bonnet you should be able to match it to one of them;


Flat colours
326 Turquoise Green
413 Fiji Green
307 Dark Green
358 Evergreen


Metalic Colours
408 Palmetto Green II
275 Boston Green
339 Atlantis
406 Orinoco
430 Oxford Green II
