leather colours/individual etc

Post Sun Aug 26, 2012 6:31 pm

does anyone know if there is a leather colour, preferrably in the bmw/individual range (doesn't have to be) which resembles ruby black? I'm sure i saw an interior from an e46 indi for sale a while back and it had the reddy, browny, purpley tinge to it but haven't seen it before or since!

Yes! I have worked on an E46 330i M sport touring with this colour leather trim but i couldn't tell you what its called.

Probably dark Sepia 26951167 but could be ink blue.

That sounds very nice. Any photos?

Strangely enough Barry the interior I saw for sale was m sport touring. Can't be that many with that leather! I'm struggling to find any pictures of this colour, and as with most strange coloured BMW leather I'm guessing it would look totally different in a photo to what they do in real life!

This the same as the one i worked on.

Notice the different stitch in the centre of the seat panels as well.

Cheers Barry, that particular set looks a slightly lighter more purpley affair than the one I saw previously, but I know these individual leather colours are a nightmare to capture with a camera! I wonder if BMW have colour sample books using actual leather samples? I guess you would be the man to ask that!
