I was just wondering.... I'd like to paint my car that blue that BMW has (mostly on the M3s)

Is there a way to go about getting that color code from them? Is that even legal? How would something like that work......

Why don't you just go to a dealership and ask for it? What's the worst they're gonna say "no"?

I'm sure you could go to BMW's site and e-mail them but you'd probably get a quicker answer at a dealership.

Yes, the Duplicolor Metalcast blue is perfect.

Definately legal, your bodyshop could probably look it up in their computer.
