Personally I would get it from BMW to ensure a best as possible match, but if you don't want to you can always try these....

I wondered if the dealer stuff retailed online. Can't seem to find it. Don't mind going to the dealer if that's what it takes.

Will be going into a spray gun. Want the Glasurit stuff. Make sure the finish is perfect.

Well I wouldn't be going to bmw if their paint sticks are anything to go buy. The MG one I purchased is so much darker than on the car I had to rub it off again.

I doubt it. The paint they use in the robot paint lines at the factory is not suitable for refinishing use by the aftermarket.

Bumpers use a different paint system again. They are supplied to the factory painted by external suppliers.

You won't get the factory paint but you might be able to get the re-finishing paint through some digging. Get in touch with an approved BMW bodyshop that isn't attached to a dealer, for example: http://www.thepaintandbodyshop.co.uk/
