I'm looking to replace the glove box lid, but £160 for a new part is a bit steep. Hence I've got to get one from a scrappy, but want the correct colour. How many colours were there?

As far as I know, there was only one colour dash, black. However, there were different colour centre consuls and glove boxes but I think that was only a choice of black or grey.

I have Indigo in my 325....
But the dash is Black, as is the glovebox lid and the centre consul...

However, although this is the same shade as the one in the M3, the 320 Touring has a much darker black plastic....glossier, too

My '89 320 Touring has a light grey glovebox lid so they did do them! Also has centre console, kick panel under s/wheel and b/posts all aquired off U.K. ebay.
