Cardinal/oxblood question

[SHAKEELE30]

Cars that came with these interiors, i know they came with carpet, doorcards, shelf, but what about the center console etc. What else what colour co-oridnated???

Talking about the originals not ones that have been matched afterwards....

My mate has a 325i Motorsport Cabby. Tech 1. Silver with Oxblood interior. The centre console and everything else is standard E30.

The door cards and in this case the horseshoe -as it's a cabby- along with the bits you've already mentioned are the only bits that are red.

[SHAKEELE30]

thanks, do you know if that is totally original as in thats how the car came, or did he put them in afterwards....

[da4x4turbo]

Totally Original and unmolested.

How many times! No such thing as Ox blood in an E30! Cardial or Crimson only!

The only parts that are red are the seats, carpet, door trims including the pockets and door pulls, rear shelf, speaker covers and if its got the premium speakers in the rear then them as well.

I've just bought an M3 with cardinal interior, which is the original as suplied by BMW, however, only the seats and door cards are this colour. Everything else is anthracite, rear shelf, centre console, carpet, dash, all anthracite.

I have to say, I thought it was hideous when I bought the car, but after driving it a few days, it's kind of growing on me. But I think I'll still sell the interior nonetheless.

oh i'm sure you'll have them queuing up sheps!

Do you know for a fact that it had cardinal from new?

Have you done a spec inquirey at a BMW dealer?

Not sure on that but cross referencing part numbers on realoem
would confirm it.

naa ox's blood

^^That's a lot of red, certainly needs those black overmats just to tone it down a touch. When combined with an Alpine white cab, red leather = 8)8)8)

Yes and yes!

Having seen the pics above, if the carpet was red (uh humm) Cardinal/crimson, whatever, it would look much better.

the Mobile 1 car ,
I would love to frag the high mile turd and donate the interior to my car

[harry_p]

the seats, carpets and doors i can cope with, but the rear shelf and speakers look horrible

My cabbie was Alpine White in colour, from factory it was red leather seats with red backs on the front seats, red door cards and horseshoe, with red carpets.

Centre console was black. This I believe how BMW had made it.

I would like that red if it was a couple of shades darker..say, black for example

Best E30 colour.
