    paint color in the vin?

    I'm looking at a e36 and i'm kinda curious what color it is. I did not think to look at the shock tower but i believe you can get it off the vin also. can anyone here help me out? thanks

      Just on a quick check of auto check or car fax say their are 21 records for that car, thats alot, might be worth just ordering a car fax report
