I have this interior in my 2dr saloon, does anyone know anything about it? It's not in the wiki. It has MTech stitched tabs on the base near the adjusters.

its the Mtech 2 door interior, pretty rare, although they never fetch much money

Has that in my 318is. Also seen in M3's.

Alex is right on both rare and little value in them.

Very rare and only found in very late cars. If it is excellent it should fetch good money. Alas most , like most cloth trims are scrap and used bits to replace the foooked bits are nonexistant.

alpine white with M Tech 2 kit. I have a very nice black leather interior I am thinking of putting in, but would rather have cloth. Maybe find a dark grey cloth sports interior. I just can't decide if I like this interior or not.

It's pretty hideous, but at the same time I quite like it.
cheers,

I've only seen pictures of it but I must say it looks busy sort of like a candy cane. Magpie may be right...rare for a reason.

Reminds me of the matching bed sheets, wallpaper and curtains some of my friends used to have in their bedrooms when we were kids..

Its a old skool colour combo, so its period correct. Its was all about the wacky designs back then but you never know fashion has a tendency to go around in circles! something that is new & cool today was also cool 10years prior

I've seen that trim in a 320iS. That might explain the lhd.
