I don't know the original colour; maybe speak to BMW and see if they have a firm answer

But 'sparkling silver', wurth silver' and 'titanium silver' are the colours that spring to mind

Any of those will give you as close to OEM, IIRC

What colour is your E39? You could consider a standard bright silver, or that but with a sparkle lacquer that 'flips' in the sunlight etc

The Paraclete appears

No reference of colour on RealOem and the I dealer called also couldn’t help

Thanks for the suggestions

The scruffy old Blue touring in my profile that I’m in the middle of tidying up a bit more with it being chrome I don’t want to darken the wheels

Haha

I'd go for a standard silver, sparkle silver, or possibly platinum silver. That's what I had the Style 149s done on my previous E65 and it was a lovely colour; suited the blue car really well

One colour I have used in the past is Rover Silver Metallic

It was a rough DIY refurb of alloys for winter tyres; but they turned out great and the colour was spot on IMO



Not sure if you're rattle can'ing or powder coating etc

Ah; worlds your oyster then (maybe)

A nice bright silver will always suit blue cars very well IMO

Good luck; let us know how you get on

I did mine in BMW titanium silver for a topaz blue e39. Looked fine.
