CSL wheels original colour code..

[flamez]

Ok so I went to BMW today to ask for the paint code as I cant view the thread and nobody here seems to wanna give it to me lol

they took my reg number and came back with a few different codes they showed me with german names but wasn't sure which one it was, so they said they would speak to their wheel refurb team and give me a call once they confirm the right colour.

@flamez, if you're a CSL owner why don't you become a member on here? It's pretty cheap and helps keep this valuable resource for all of us going.

yeah thats fine if its voluntary then i don't mind at all. thing is people forcing me to cough up for the info isn't cool. Especially as I managed to get the paint details very easily within a day of looking and also from bmw direct, they didnt want to charge me for the info either lol

Anyways after finding out the cost of the base coat alone, looks like I might as well forget the original paint and just get all wheels refurbed in the similar colour match :hahaha:

Is it expensive to have them refurbished in OEM finish then?

Try Paint it Uk in Billericay Essex.

Just had my Golf wheels done in shadow chrome which is high power silver over black for £285.. Which includes full factory refurb, tyres rebalanced/valves etc

19"s will be a little more but also insured for 3yrs.

Shadow Chrome is used by most refurbers using a Black base coat, however when my CSL is parked beside my Dads Mk.4 Anniversary, they look nothing like the colour on mine eg. Silver Chrome using a Grey base coat. :thumbs:

Not even bmw Dealers use the correct paint.

It's been known for Mobile Wheel refurb vans @ BMW dealers.

Wheel OEM colour

Hi, I am a member but can't get to the link for the correct colour code for refurbing my CSL wheels. Could someone help, please?

[jairrel]

The colour code is A55. Not all paint suppliers have this.

Greetings.

The original base coat is black but if you are not using the original paint it wont matter.

Cant comment on what is best as i only did mine with the original paint.

Picking this up again but who would you guys recommend for refurbing Genuine BMW CSL wheels to the original BBS finish?
