Hi guys my tech 2 touring in royal blue is going in today for an interior refurb, it's currently tan leather, however I can have the seats dyed any colour I wish and was thinking black as I have a spare carpet and they can do the door cards/plastics with a kit they use. There work is a1.
Just been undecided and need to make my mind up today!
Thanks

tan FTW. blue and tan always looks awesome, imho black will just make it look too dark.
pics required afterwards though

Royal blue and tan looks very smart, but blue and black always looks dull to me.
Selection of BMW hardtops available, please ask!

Black is very ordinary,almost every E30 with a dark outside colour will be grey or black inside.
Tan is unusual,and has the added beniefit of making the interior much lighter and a far more pleasant place to be.

Another vote for tan here. As long as it is the light tan and not the orangy one. Cream would look amazing too with the blie but not practical I suppose.

Doesn't have to be practical it's not a daily more a toy, I've decided on cornsilk now a light cream. The contrast against the tan carpet will look ace it's the combining have in my e46 330 touring individual.
I'm paying £450 for seats and door cards to be refurbished.
It's light tan btw not the tango affair.
I'll put up some before and after photos when I collect it next weekend
