BMW X7 Touch Up Paint (41 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

BMW didn't just pick a palette for the X7; they curated a global travel itinerary. With 39 colors recorded, they really went for it-ranging from the urban Brooklyn Gray and Manhattan Metallic to the sophisticated Tanzanite Blue. Whether you're driving "50 Shades of Grey" or rocking the adventurous Vermont Bronze, this is a lot of surface area to keep pretty.

What to Watch For

The X7 is a literal giant, which means that massive front "nose" is a magnet for highway gravel. While BMW's factory finish is world-class, the clear coat can be a bit sensitive to environmental "gifts" like bird droppings or tree sap, which can etch the surface if left too long. You'll find your specific 3-digit paint code on a sticker inside the driver's side door jamb or, occasionally, tucked under the hood near the strut tower. Keep an eye on the lower door edges and wheel wells; because this car is so wide, it tends to kick up its own road debris.

Driveway Repair Tip

Many X7 colors, like Ametrin Metallic or Mineral White, are packed with heavy pearl and metallic flakes. These "sparkles" like to nap at the bottom of the bottle, so shake your touch-up pen for at least 60 seconds-longer than you think you need-to wake them up. When applying, think "less is more." Use the tip of a toothpick or a very fine brush to drop the paint into the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. If you're working with a "Frozen" (matte) finish, take extra care: these require patience, as you want to apply the paint as flatly as possible without any heavy buildup, since you won't be wiping or leveling it afterward.
