Also look at Jeff Dean's site for pictures of the /2 era bikes...he documents some very nice colors.

Also check out the previous thread on older bikes...there was a police green shown on one of them.

Hello from a 1970 R75/5
Greetings. I've just joined the VBMWMO due partly of course to my passion for old BMWs but mostly for support as I make my way thru the large pile of parts in my garage that, not long ago, was an R75/5. This process is being documented online at www.conifers.org/moto , by the way. Currently the heads are being done (new valves, springs, one guide) and I've established that an overbore is in store next (pistons and cylinders out of spec by quite a bit).
Today I'm pondering this black, dented, slightly rusty tank, which needs patching and new paint. The build date on the bike is Oct-1969 so if I want true authenticity I should keep it black or change it to white or silver. However I'm not THAT worried about authenticity, and I'd like it to be one of the greens that BMW introduced a year or two later - called "metallic green," "Nurburg green" and "Polizei green." Metallic green bikes I've found, but remain unclear on what Nurburg and Polizei look like. Can anyone point me to or send a photo documenting those colors and their associated pinstripe colors?
