looks like lotusweis (lotus white) or champagne.. i recently restored an interior on a 635csi that very colour.

heres the stuff i used and the colour charts..

note.. lotosweiss looks like light grey on the colour swatch on that link, but its actually light beige in reality, like a champagne cream.. i did this very colour recently,

Looks like normal 'natural' to me - what makes you think it's different?

Interesting link thesharkfactor - Do you know how can I find out what colour of blue the leather seats in my 1990 Cab are ?

+1. Maybe because its in direct sun light it looks different.

Its not lotus white and the was no factory champange leather on E30's.

was "Saffron" leather only fitted on E36s? (maybe a more yellow colour though)

Sorry to go off the topic, but have you any experience of light colours from this supplier? I've got light grey Vadar seats in my E36 Evo and the Liquid Leather stuff just doesn't last.

Thanks,

Mick

Looks the same as mine but not sure what the oem colour is but I'm guessing they're a factor leather

we are probably fooled because thats brand new and you can bet 20 year old cream leathers don't look like that now on any e30 no matter how mint!
