Style 296 wheel colour.

I’ve got 19” style 296 on my E89 and I’m in search of the correct paint colour. Bmw dealership think it’s likely to be reflex silver but the spec doesn’t confirm. Anyone got any experience in this?

Did you ever find out if reflex silver was the correct colour? I need to do a little touch up on my wheels.

A general research suggested reflex silver is correct.

Could be "decor silver 2" (B20 code). That was the colour on the 326M wheels of the same vintage. Reflex (A44 code) is a slightly older colour IIRC.
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.

I have the reflex A44 ordered already but I'll post back with pictures and results, if its off I'll give the B20 a shot :-)
