I just stumbled across a 1.8is for sale and the interior is certainly unusual.

Anyone seen this before??

Good lord no! Can you tell its an end of 80's product???

IIRC, this type of interior was in the M3's?

I have seen a couple of red 318iS in Dublin with this interior
(one had the ugly digital clock + blaupunkt stereo + flat battery, the other had 17" alpina replicas... don't know why I remember this ...! )

I think it might have been called M Tec 2 or M Tec 3 interior - though I'm open to correction on this

i have seen this in an M3 too...disgusting!! a bit like when VW went through a stage of painting polo's every colour under the sun, but on one car..each panel a different colour

Wasn't that a United Colours of Benneton limited edition????

if it was then it was a racist pratical joke



Its called a Harlequin edition according to my Goggle friend

They actually sold that car

more the point is people actually bought it...Germans!!

The sad thing is that in ten years, when most polos have rusted away, it'll be these "special editions" that command higher prices and people will spend vast amounts restoring them... I predict there will be a constant flow of "genuine" harlequins flowing out of Birmingham at some point

I always called them benneton cars, glad I am not the only one who got that idea from somewhere then.

I read they were sold with the idea of driving schools buying them. The idea being when the student prangs them you buy any colour panel since it doesnt matter what colour goes on there is no colour matching. Didnt really catch on though!

i think its a european interior???

i know you could get a lot more choices in germany, i quite like the design cab versions that you get over here but in germany you can get a purple version that i quite like

I've only seen that interior in iS's and M3's.

I like it

Reminds me of those little paper bags you used to get from sweet shops.

IMO this should be called Bad Looking Interior. O well
