Default Paint Code on VIN

Hey guys! How do I find the paint code on the VIN for a 2008 M3. I was told it is two digits and ends in a Y, but I dont even have a Y on mine. Thanks! I want to buy one of those shark fin antennas...I hate the antennas on the M3

You're paint code, at least mine, is on a sticker right inside the driver's side door on the "B" pillar beneath the striker plate.
It includes GVW info, Country of manufacture (Japan,) and the VIN#. Below all that is the paint code... last line.
