2011-2017 BMW X3 F25 Paint Code Location

In the 2011-2017 BMW X3 F25, the paint code can typically be found in one of several locations:

Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) Tag:
The paint code may be listed on a small tag or sticker located on the driver's side door jamb. Look for a series of alphanumeric characters, often labeled "Paint" or "Color."
Under the Hood:
Sometimes, the paint code is listed on a sticker or plate under the hood of the vehicle. Look around the engine compartment, particularly near the radiator support or firewall.
Owner's Manual or Maintenance Booklet:
BMW vehicles often have a section in the owner's manual or maintenance booklet that includes important vehicle information, including the paint code.
Online Resources:
If you're unable to find the paint code using the methods above, you can also consult online resources or contact a BMW dealership with your vehicle's VIN to obtain the paint code information.
Once you have the paint code, you can use it to accurately match touch-up paint or when ordering replacement parts for your BMW X3 F25.


In this detailed DIY tutorial, we based on a 2011 BMW X3 equipped with a 3.0L gasoline engine and automatic transmission. This guide is applicable to BMW X3 models from 2011 to 2017 (F25 series).
