If you click the image, it takes you to the image's own page in the Wiki. Click it again and it'll come up bigger.

Not the most intuitive of systems, but there's a page size limit and if I kept all the pictures at full size then the page would go over that size, and would cause issues for some people (especially those browsing with mobile devices).

I like that sample though :D

Agreed. :D

Is the interior colour/code on a label on the seats somewhere like the paint colour sticker on the strut turret?

I think its on the rear seat bench, underneath... Although the Wiki has the codes next to it... Are you trying to establish which yours is?

My reward is the last three years of E30 ownership without paying a mechanic a penny, thanks to all the info here. It's my way of giving something back, that's all.

Thanks for the comments guys, keep the pictures coming.

Neon Green cloth,fitted to a limited run of 250 cabbies built in 1991.200 LHD,50 RHD.

Neon Blue is similar,but blue piping and blue pattern in place of green.

Mainland Euroland appears to have seen this trim in touring versions.

Got these in mine, look a bit brown but after a check today I'm pretty sure they're a grey pattern. If these are any use let me know and I can get some better pics of you need.

1988 and 1991 Silver Leather are both 0292, so are you sure 1989 is going to be 0319?

Green, I'll add that cloth to the Wiki if it can be identified.

If anyone has a 1989 brochure with the upholstery images, PM me.

Its touring beige leather but seams darker than another touring beige I know off. Either a retrim, doubt it though or something else.

Cant find any labels on the interior for colour codes only a yellow german sticker on the frame of the front 2 seats which says very little.

Edition tourings had them, wasn't there also a purply edition colour? Did it have similar cloth but with purple in the patern and piping?

I've added those I can get codes for. Daimlerman, is there any way of finding out what code that Neon Green cloth was? And its purple equivalent?

I also have a feeling that the current Havana image is incorrect.

Yes, its anthracite county or "houndtooth" trim with the bolsters retrimed in leather.
