It should be stamped on the strut tower plate (or somewhere near).

It'll be in German, so post what it says and someone here will translate it for you.

If it is the one in your avatar, I'd expect it to have Blau as it looks a shade of Blue to me.

From what i could find on the net. it means Lazer Blue. and also from those paint guides it was only used on the touring and convertible. Do not know if they are complete.

Also where did you find the image of the sticker?

Yeah, laser blue's right, used after 1990, BMW code 294. Dark metallic blue with a green tint according to the bible.

Interesting...it looks more purple than green...but that is cool. I am going to get a panel beater mate to get rid of some rust and fix up some panel damage...so ill get it sprayed that colour if it is a green tint. (not to keen on the purplr look).
