I want charcoal black, but am open to using grey.

UPDATE : BOUGHT A CARPET !! THANKS FOR THE HELP !! IF I AM NOT HAPPY WITH IT WHEN IT GETS HERE I WILL BE LOOKING FOR ABOTHER, BUT THINK IT IS GOING TO WORK OUT WITH THE ONE I BOUGHT.

I have gray carpet great shape on the underside. not do great upside, discolored needs serious cleaning or die. No damage.
Asking 22$ for the bother of packing and lugging the 45# box to the fedex office. costs roughly 1$ per pound to ship though.

im in Boston area with a gray 318is carpet in pretty good shape, but it was cut to remove like everyone does and the cuts aren't visible when it's installed. I shampooed it and it's pretty good, if $50 isn't too much for you and you're willing to drive down to Boston or pay for shipping I will lug it out of basement and take a picture in the sunlight. let me know -Sam

Thanks for all the help so far!

I will pass on the one thats rough on the top. Thanks anyway.

Will send PM to Mossman.

Really loooking for a charcoal black - I have never seen one in the e30 - only the e28 - if the e30 never had the charcoal black ( much darker than the grey ) please let me know so I can stop sounding stupid.

People have told me there is a charcoal black e30 carpet and thats really what I want, but dont want to leave my car torn apart all summer while looking for one.

I will settle for grey.

Thanks!!

I dyed mine after pressure washing. It is black now, looks great, feels pretty normal, but not as soft as stock. If you really want black, go for it.

Thanks for the info. Do you know if the e30 came with charcoal grey??

I was told that the nearest to black is the dark grey, nowhere near black. The big white/yellow bleach spots on mine were optional, apparently. Might have been a DIY project by the PO, don't know.

When I pulled the carpet out, I used my handy little pressure washer ($150 job from Home Depot) to blast it clean...I never used soap, but TONS of foamy soapy stuff came out. Spilled stuff from a trip to the laundromat, I assume.

When done, and dried for a week, it smelled and looked great (except for the optional bleach stain) but felt wonderful, like new.

When I dyed it, I used VHT carpet dye, about 5 coats, brushing while wet(!) with a plastic scrub brush. It really does look and feel nice, but not 100% like new.

On the other hand, for $26 in spray dye and 5 hours work, it is really really nice.

I find I just don't rub my floor all that often...
