as above really, I swear in some photos some dashboards appear black

do I need glasses as they're all the dark grey or were there some black dashboards produced?

cheers

All I can say is that my '93 Tourer has a very, very dark grey dash witch is cracked to buggery (most be something in the pigment??) But I have seen a Black one in a scrapyard near me that's mint!

That's from a base '91 318i :)

Mine's black, and AFAIK I've only ever seen black ones.
I've seen pic's of the light grey one (is it originally from one of the special edition convertibles?) and I want one!
This is why I no longer drive an E30......

The one from my 83' 320i is as black as it gets, bit of a shine on it now though.
I think the face lift ones had the sheen taken off to stop the reflections and probably wouldn't stay jet black after a few scrapes so they went for the dark grey's :?
