E30 Zone

Hi,

First post here... I was sent by an E30 restorer.

I am fortunate to own an all original '84 325e w/ cloth seats. The entirety of the cloth interior is mint (unstained, unblemished) except the seat bottom of the driver's seat. This pearlbeige fabric was used only on the early E30s and apparently is no longer produced. Per my upholsterer I only need one yard. if anybody know where I can source a piece of this fabric I would be grateful for the lead. Thanks!

This isn’t going to be much help, you’ve named the fabric, is that the BMW official name of it, if so have a look on here to see wether it is really is unavailable.

If you’ve never used this site,put the last 6 digits of your vin number in top left box and the details of your car will appear.

It is 0153 PearlBeige 'Checkerboard' and yes only in early prefacelift E30s Mine is the same only Anthracite.

It is all out of stock where I got mine some years back but have you tried here?
