BMW Alpina B7 Touch Up Paint (9 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

The BMW Alpina B7 is a masterclass in understated muscle, and its color palette reflects that sophisticated "iron fist in a velvet glove" vibe. We have 9 recorded colors for this beast, and while BMW leaned heavily into the "professional executive" aesthetic with shades like Titan Silver Metallic, Sterling Pearl Gray, and Titanium Grey (yes, they really explored the nuances of grey), they also gave us some absolute gems. If you're lucky enough to be holding a bottle of Barbera Red Metallic or the legendary Alpina Blue Metallic, you're dealing with colors that were designed to turn heads at 150 mph.

What to Watch For

Because the B7 is essentially a high-performance missile, its biggest natural enemy is the highway rock chip. The front hood and those wide fenders tend to collect "road rash" faster than a lead-footed driver collects speeding tickets. You'll find your paint code in the standard BMW spots: check the driver's side door jamb on the VIN sticker, or pop the hood and look for a black sticker on the driver-side strut tower. If you have a custom Alpina shade like Alpina Blue, the code might be listed under "BMW Individual," but don't worry-it's the same process to fix it. Keep an eye on the lower bumper area; the clear coat here can be a bit sensitive, so catch those chips before they decide to grow.

Driveway Repair Tip

If you are working with one of the metallic shades-especially the Alpina Blue or Monaco Blue-your biggest hurdle is the "metallic settle." These paints are packed with tiny sparkles that love to sink to the bottom of the bottle. **Shake your touch-up bottle for at least 60 to 90 seconds** (long after you think you're done) to wake those flakes up. When applying, don't try to fill a deep chip in one go. If you drop a giant blob of metallic paint into a hole, the sparkles will bunch up and look like a dark spot. Instead, apply two thin layers, letting the first one dry for 15 minutes. It requires a little more patience, but it's the secret to making that repair disappear into the finish.
