    WTB: 91 318iS Alpine White

    Looking for a stock or lightly modded 318iS in Alpine White with Cardinal interior, but open to other interior colors as well.

    I'm not sure 318is's ever came with any type of red interior. Your best bet may be to find one with a clean body, solid motor, and busted interior that you can swap out or refurbish.

    Good luck.

        That interior is from a 325is or possibly a 325es. 318is only came with black vinyl or tan vinyl interiors. If you see leather it came from a 325.


        The vinyl sometimes holds up better but it feels very cheap compared to leather that's in good shape.

        Alpine on cardinal is the best combo though ;-)




        That car is long gone though. Good luck with the search you'll find something..

            I had one of those once. Mike is right - 318iS never came with cardinal from the factory.

            I've only ever seen black vinyl, tan vinyl, gray cloth, tan cloth, and the uberkaro cloth (European option).

                The one I just sold was Indigostoff (dark blue-ish) cloth.

                    what is your price range? I have a really clean 318is, mostly garage kept.

                        Budget is not a main concern as much as the overall condition, maintenance history, originality including paint, clean carfax, etc.

                        If you guys have something that might be of interest, PM me the details.

                          Mine has the indigo cloth interior (0271) as well. Unfortunately it hasn't stood the test of time very well, I almost swapped it for a cardinal sport interior but then I hit a deer...

                          Good luck in your search OP, I love my AW 318is!
