BMW X5 VIN Decoder and Options List

BMW X5 paint codes identify the exact exterior color used on your vehicle at the factory. Each code corresponds to a specific paint formula and finish, helping you match or confirm your vehicle’s color for touch-ups, detailing, or refinishing work.

You can find your paint code on the label inside the driver’s side door jamb or under the hood near the strut tower. It’s usually printed next to the word “Paint” or “Color.”
