Can't find the right colour code

[rb26]

I saw this colour on a e46 m3, but can't seem to find the colour. Does anyone know what it might be, and if its a bmw colour at all?

Individual option - Messing Metallic I think.

Looks too "brown" for messing to me; messing is brass in german.

Did they do Sepang for the E46?

AI search suggests Sepang bronze

I thought that, but i tend to agree with the others. This is too brown in direct sunlight.

I've used A.i. to get the colour, but I don't think it's even sepang brown metallic, that's too rich imo.

Google Lens takes me to a Facebook account for Swiss BMW and a post from 2018:

Car's colour and wheels seems to match. Colour described only as brown metallic. Maybe contact the account owner to confirm same car and if they have the colour code?

Top man, I'm 99% sure that's the car. It could be messing metallic on closer inspection

Surely that's Pyrite brown. Messing is much greener.

It says Sepang if you scroll down, that's where I got it from

Yer it's sepang.

Was Sepang available on E46s?

It was offered on Z4Ms, but only 19 few people chose it! 9 Roadsters and 10 Coupes.
