E30 Zone

Evening fellas.

The OEM homos will have a field day with this new Wiki article:

http://www.e30zone.net/e30zonewiki/index.php/Upholstery

Good job that is, looks very well done, shame you cant get a better view of the samples though.

I have this if its any use -

If you click the image, it takes you to the image's own page in the Wiki. Click it again and it'll come up bigger.

Not the most intuitive of systems, but there's a page size limit and if I kept all the pictures at full size then the page would go over that size, and would cause issues for some people (especially those browsing with mobile devices).

I like that sample though

Very cool page. Your doing a great job on the Wiki

Agreed.

Is the interior colour/code on a label on the seats somewhere like the paint colour sticker on the strut turret?

I think its on the rear seat bench, underneath... Although the Wiki has the codes next to it... Are you trying to establish which yours is?

Credit where credits due.

Thats a top effort. Off your own bat, for no reward, and very useful!

Well done indeed!!

Pearl Beige '86/'87



Anthracite '88 / '89



Feel free to use for Wiki

Great effort!

The crimson red leather picture is cardinal red.

My reward is the last three years of E30 ownership without paying a mechanic a penny, thanks to all the info here. It's my way of giving something back, that's all.

Thanks for the comments guys, keep the pictures coming.

Neon Green cloth,fitted to a limited run of 250 cabbies built in 1991.200 LHD,50 RHD.

Neon Blue is similar,but blue piping and blue pattern in place of green.

Mainland Euroland appears to have seen this trim in touring versions.

here's another..

Code : BMW 0666 Phatleatherzinnitbruv

with LTD edition subwoofer hole and dirty cream piping





not sure but I think it may be a re-trim ?

Hmmm I took that pic! good job done there though.

Got these in mine, look a bit brown but after a check today I'm pretty sure they're a grey pattern. If these are any use let me know and I can get some better pics of you need.

No 89 colours? Wouldnt mind seeing the 0319 Silver Leather if anyone has a pic.

1988 and 1991 Silver Leather are both 0292, so are you sure 1989 is going to be 0319?

Green, I'll add that cloth to the Wiki if it can be identified.

If anyone has a 1989 brochure with the upholstery images, PM me.

Its touring beige leather but seams darker than another touring beige I know off. Either a retrim, doubt it though or something else.

Cant find any labels on the interior for colour codes only a yellow german sticker on the frame of the front 2 seats which says very little.

Good stuff.

Any idea if you can still get material like that????

This was in a Tech 1 Sport i had so i'm guessing it could be 0206 Pearlbeige;

Edition tourings had them, wasn't there also a purply edition colour? Did it have similar cloth but with purple in the patern and piping?

I've added those I can get codes for. Daimlerman, is there any way of finding out what code that Neon Green cloth was? And its purple equivalent?

I also have a feeling that the current Havana image is incorrect.

Yes, its anthracite county or "houndtooth" trim with the bolsters retrimed in leather.

By the way, the check is caller "Uberkaro".

Was there ever an E30 factory half-leather option ?

Sweep on here has had a few breakers with this upholstery recently but he won't send it to me in Spain.. He might still have some.
