    What color is my headliner?

    I'm trying to sell my hardtop, and a potential purchaser asked me about the color of the headliner. Being a newb, I didn't realize there was more than one option. I now understand that they came in at least grey and beige, but I'm not sure what mine is. If asked to describe it, I'd call it putty-something between grey and beige.

    So what is it?

    Looks to be beige. Instead of posting here, maybe send the potential buyer the pictures you posted? I know, call me crazy...

      That's the stock color. The only other color was black which was available on the 318iS and M3.

        I may be a newb, but I'm not an idiot. He saw my FS post here with the pictures.

          piss/nicotine yellow?

          I imagine he wants to know if it is off white or black.

            I'm the potential buyer -- and I have seen pictures of some with grey headliners. (I have a grey carpet, so the grey is what I am looking for.)

              But it could just be someone who replaced theirs -- or has different Camera settings.

                From the pics I'd say it's beige.

                      Then dye it grey, came in two colors. So that is your options, plus hardtops are RARE. So if you find one that is clean it is best to scoop it up.

                        I've seen maybe 5 of them in person and they were all beige and looked like the OP's pics

                          Thanks all for the replies. So the consensus is that beige and black were the only factory colors, and that any grey headliner has been dyed.

                            Yes. Or the beige one may look gray in some photos depending on lighting, camera, and cleanliness.
