BMW E92 paint codes, color options E90, E91, E93 USA Market:

The E90 / E91 / E92 / E93 3 series is the fifth generation 3 series BMW offered. This was the first time BMW split each model to have its own chassis designation. Because of the four different types, this generation 3 series is commonly referred to as E9X.  The E90 is the four door sedan, E91 is the touring, E92 is the two door coupe and the E93 is the cabriolet (convertible).  These models were produced from 2004 to 2013.

The debut models were the E90 sedan and E91 touring versions in 2004, 2006 brought the E92 coupe and 2007 BMW introduced the E93 convertible.  The E90 and E91 ended production in 2012 to be replaced while the E92 and E93 were not replaced until after the 2013 year models.

The E9X marked a few new milestones for BMW. The auto maker introduced the 335i as the first 3 series to have a turbo charged gasoline engine.  This generation also is the first delivered with run flat tires (omitting the spare as a result) and also no manual dipstick for checking the oil. The E90 sedan became the last 3 series to be offered with a naturally aspirated, non-turbo gasoline motor.

The below color options were offered for the American market only. It is common for BMW to produce different color palettes for different markets world wide. If you know of any other colors offered in your country, please contact us with the information and proof and we will gladly update our list.
