My wheels have suffered a few paint chips which I'd like to touch up.

They're the brown(ish) cast variety fitted from 2008 onwards.
I've scoured the internet in an attempt to find some touch-up paint, but have had no luck.

Does anyone know the appropriate code for this colour or have found a suitable match? :nenau
 
Take it too a local car paint supplier (not a paint garage) they will colour match it for you. :thumb2

Just remember touch ups with a brush are not an exact match, especially if it’s metallic paint.

According to the MAXBMW parts list, the alloy wheel colour for 2008 till 2012 was Magnesium Metallic and the colour code is M 957, I seem to remember it's more silver than brown(ish). Anyway a touch up stick of that colour should be on eBay for a couple of quid. Alan
 
Thanks for your suggestions so far, gents, appreciate your help.

Here's a pic of the wheel where you can contrast it to the silver of the swingarm.
I think that Magnesium Matte Metallic could refer to the silver wheels of pre 2008 bikes.

The MAXBMW site shows the pre-2008 wheel colour as 'silver' but from 2008 on it shows it as MMM.I might have some MMM in the garage, if I do you can have it. Alan
 
Well I've had no joy so far with my quest for touch-up paint.

I have no local paint shop to mix me up a bottle of touch-up and I think the MMM as stated is a red herring.
Magnesium Matt Metallic shows up as a silver and not the colour I'm after.
