I have always wondered what that little sticker was for.
Specifically my 1989 E32 says: "BMW - Schwarz" and has the numbers 086/9
and 1 870 903.
Can someone (Phil?) translate exactly what my sticker says. The car is
black, and to the best of my knowledge is NOT clear coated. The reason that
I am pretty sure that it is not clear coated is that I get black residue on
the cloth when I polish it.
The reason that I ask these questions is that I thought that BMWs had clear
coated paint. Did BMW make black paint in 1989 that was not clear coated?
Thanks,
