Karl Hubeny informs me that the following colours were used for the years listed below:

1981/82

1. black, BMW paint ref.code 506 with gold lining
2. metallic red, p.r.c. 553 - was two tone, a combination of 031 and 089 colours sprayed wet-in-wet and then finish with clear lacquer, gold lining, as seen on the photos of your page - 100% original, as left the factory.

1983/84

1. the two tone metallic red was changed over to a single tone metallic red: paint ref. code 566, gold lining 
2. black 

Smoke Red - I can find no reference to this colour for this model but am assured that it was produced.
