MV2 OEM Colour?

Post by Snails » Tue Mar 06, 2018 1:16 pm

Hi all,

I did try and search, but wasn't able to find the answer. Can anybody advise what colour MV2's were as standard or more specifically, did the shade of silver have a specific name or colour code?

Thank you.

The general silver on BMW alloys is "Reflex Silver" (Colour Code: A44/BMW WA44 MET).

The grey on the latest alloys is "Ferric Grey II" (Colour Code: B55 MET/BMW WB55 MET). (2012 onwards roughly)

Hi. I'm assuming that you are thinking of having your wheels refurbed and want to keep things as standard? Me too, and like you don't know what the actual colour is called.
