Very late 215 'motorsport' velourz. I have seen a few late M3s with it and a handful of late UK E30s. I prefer it to the IS check but most victims don't.

I've seen it in late 320iS's and late M3's.
EDIT. There was a complete interior for sale on the zone not that long ago.

Thanks pete, so she looks like a normal late 215 ? All I know is its a German import that has stood for 6 years since the owner deceased

Correct.
Was an option in the mighty 318IS and m3 only as I was told when I did some digging on it. Should have a tri-coloured Mtech tag stitched to the side of the front seat bases in the top piping.
My set went to Manchester via eBay some years ago for a couple hundred nuggets.

'Motorsport' lightning bolt pattern.
Seen above in 'neon blue',as fitted to neon blue cabbies,current at the same time as late M3.
More colour versions seem to have been available in Europe,a zoner imported a purple touring interior a while back.

No, its not. I cant seem to find the pics from when I sold the set but Ive got a decent pic of when the buyer installed it in his car. I'll upload it in a sec
I'll keep looking for the pics I had taken for my for sale post, but I've probably deleted them by now as I sold this last summer.

Its quite cool actually, I don't mind it. I think I've seen it before in a scraped car.

I think it's very bright and funky. But I guess it's not popular for a reason!

That cloth is the same patern all be it in a different colour to that used in ceccotto and a sport Evo E30 M3's.
