Hi all, can anyone tell me the name of leather colour in this pic of my car, I want to buy a touch up dye pen but there are a few greys and its hard to tell, the leather is the smooth type, thanks |

As Norrie said Paul, if you ask your local Main dealer they should print you a build sheet which will tell you all the spec of your car when it was built, just see the parts dept with your vin number.

You can use the vin decoder on ETK
http://www.etk.cc/ which will give you the code for the leather if fitted at factory |

If you got the build sheet printed off at your parts dept it will state a code number and colour, mine states 0641 light grey leather, you will need the code number to get the exact match if you order your dye from a reputable company such as Glyptone..

The page doesn't seem to accept the vin number Nick, looks like there is something wrong with the page :/

The Bimmer.Work VIN decoder is a bit hit and miss, sometimes it works, sometimes not. Try it again at a different time. You could also try http://www.bmwvin.com/

I found the code but still couldnt get a description until I searched through paperwork that came with the car and it said Light Silver Grey, so hopefully what I ordered is correct, will test on an inconspicous part first Dave ! |
