Obtaining BMW "Individual" paint codes/information?

[Inzane]

In my quest for alternative BLACK colors to repaint my Z in, I stumbled upon a color I really like.

It's the BMW "Individual" option "Azurite Black Metallic".

Their individual program is a system by which when ordering a new BMW through a dealership you can select custom interior and exterior color choices from a broader (though still limited) list, but for an extra premium price of course.

My question is, is it possible to obtain the paint code and/or whatever other info an aftermarket paint & body shop would need to paint a car in that color? OR is BMW typically very secretive about that kind of thing?

Thanks.

This might have it.

Thanks. Hmm, unless it's one of the ones listed without an English translation I don't see Azurite Black on there. However I noticed it says '2001' at the top.

I wonder if there's an up-to-date revision somewhere of that list you shared.

I tried on some of the bmw forums I frequent but couldnt find anything. But m3forum and dtmpower forums are great and full of smart people who might be able to help. Worse case, shoot me a PM and my buddy use to work at a BMW dealership has a service advisor and Im sure still has friends. TBH at work I couldnt look that hard, saw that pdf and thought I would fire it up in hopes.

Shows several years worth. Look at the 2008 list at the bottom of the page. Page 6 lists the color you are looking for.

Thank you!

That's exactly what I needed.

Hmm.... I may have to consider Ruby Black metallic as well.
