I have a Titanium Metallic 1998 E36 318iS, which is in excellent condition.

I want to address a few minor rust bits under the bonnet, but I do not know the correct matching colour code.

It looks like a flat pale silver/white, and a BMW tech said it might be the Titanium Silver but without any lacquer, but I have found out that this is not the case !

Any ideas, or how I would find out ?

In your door shut or under the bonnet you'll find a black sticker. This will have info on it such as year built and on the bottom left hand corner the colour name - the colour code should be on the right hand corner.
I know you're repairing under the bonnet - but silver(s) are one of the most difficult to DIY.
Good luck.

It will be quite hard to match as the under bonnet area isn't lacquered.
