Vin decoder with color?

Looking at buying an f85 and the color looks silver but depending on light not sure if it’s Donington grey or silver. Any help?

You can use this site: https://www.mdecoder.com/

The color is probably Donnington Gray based on how you described it.

There's a number of VIN decoders online which will confirm color.

Otherwise, post the VIN and someone here can check for you.

Donnington Gray is super common on the F85, while Silverstone II is actually pretty rare. It's probably DG .

Can’t get that one to work maybe cause I’m on mobile. I’ll check in the morning. Thank you.

Thank you buddy! Been a long day! Exactly why it wouldn’t work! Donington grey is it. Thanks again.
