I do not know the code, but I have used this pen for BMW wheel touch ups . I am sure that a similar paint pen is available in the UK

Would also like to know. If the paint is Ferric Grey A80 then there are touch up paints on Ebay for £4.99.
Scratch Doctor also do a BMW Alloy Repair kit for £8.95, but don't list the paint code.
If we can establish if A80 is the code then I'll buy the Scratch Doctor Kit and if the paint don't match get the £4.99 touch up as well.
Have a few nasty marks on my Front Wheels that aren't bothering me too much but would like to have a go at improving them.

For what it's worth bmw only list A80 for ferric grey. They have no paint code for Ferric grey 2 which was introduced in 2012 ish as used on M135i .If it doesn't match try B55 this is the later paint code & can be obtained from Autocolourz.

He didn't say that was the colour of the wheel just that A80 was Ferric Grey, which you already knew and now
