    Just curious about my interior. I haven't seen another (online). Blue seats, carpet and door cards

        That looks clean!

        I think the blue interior only came on very early cars, I found a cirrus blue 85 e in the junk yard with a blue interior, only comfort seats though..

          I had noted that I have seen more early cars pre '88, with the pacific blue leather sports seats.Exterior color being blue or alpine.I can not tell if your arm rest and map pocket are blue or black but the early cars used black,if your '85 is blue I think that is more unusual ,unless your interior was swapped and not the original.

                My 85 323i came with the same interior just not as clean as yours. Backseat was missing and door cards were cut for speakers so I swapped to black.

                    a friend of mine has that color interior in his 88 325e in Alpine II. your interior looks a way better though.
