Hi all,
Just wondering whats the rarest interior still in existence today?
I've got an 85 chromie with 0153 pearlbeige comfort seats and finding it impossible to source either replacement seats or fabric! :cry:

Probably an M3 interior wothout fag burns or poo stains on it ;-)

And please resize your sig! It makes the Zone impossible to read on a phone.

I'd be tempted to say Perlbeige (because nobody wanted it) Piniengrun or Pacific houndstooth.


M3/Alpina interiors while rare, were kept. No freak is hoarding perlbeige houndstooth..


yet.

+1 on pacificblau houndstooth. I've been looking for months for a pair of sports seats in this upholstery for my 2 door 325i chromie but no joy anywhere, not even in the obscure German forums.

I'm sure a pair will emerge at some point but there's no guarantee that they'll be in the condition I want. I've no doubt perlbeige is the same - plus there's the added disadvantage that they're difficult to keep clean :(

I have a complete Green Houndstooth interior, the two
door comfort variety and everything bar the drivers seat
in Pinengrun in the four door version.
How lucky am I.

Would love a mint pacificblau houndstooth sport interior, didn't even bother trying to fins one and just went down the leather route.

Try finding an indigo blue carpet or leather seats for a cab. I've been looking for a good carpet for a couple of years. All I've found is 1 which was as good as mine, fit for the bin.

Pretty sure I have a spare, mint blue cabby carpet. Problem is that I won't be shipping it.

Grey is grim. Imagine how valuable an Evo 2 would be if it did not have such a tragic interior :(

As for rare, Cherry red leather which was a very early interior colour option that preceded cardinal and crimson.

Only seen a pic on one such trim once.

It should be verify-able if you put all 500 Evo2 VIN numbers into a decoder

Sod that! Even I'm not that sad!

I have seen Recaro LS's in anthracite uberkaro check before.

I'd say the interior you describe in that Evo 2 has got to be a contender!

I also had a pinengrun houndstooth sport interior in a 320i 2dr chromie. That was lovely and I imagine not plentiful.
