1990

Anyone have a photo of seats in the Natur plaid from 1990 (Code 0307 / 0382)? I wonder if this is the same material:

Does anyone know how to find out what the official color of my carpet is? I've looked, but couldn't find a post showing the carpet colors.

The info for the MT interior #0461 is wrong, it came from 318is, not an m3. Its called innenausstattung.

Listen up dumbass, the only other thread on the internet that has any mention of that cloth being on the 318iS or called "innenausstattung" (whatever that might mean, or have any relevance) is a thread on bimmerforums from the same author as the thread here.

Here's the BMW M Registry FAQ page where it mentions 0461 being M3 specific and not available on any M3 special edition aside from the Evo 1: http://www.bmwmregistry.com/model_faq.php?id=8.

Note that it was only available on the AK05 model, which is a european spec E30 M3.

Here is the VIN sheet for a friends european spec E30 M3 who has THIS VERY interior. You'll note the build date falls into the 8 month range given for when this interior was offered by the factory, and even says 0461 on the interior option code!




DO NOT spread misinformation! Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

wow that's pretty specific. source of your info?
per google translate, innenausstattung means "interior decoration"

googling the "innenausstattung e30" pulls up some really nice interior pics, with a bunch of different colors and materials.

M3 specific M-Technic interior, code 0461. Offered for 8 months: 4/90 till 12/90.



That's a Cecotto/Ravaglia interior option chart. You had the choice of Anthracite M cloth with Black Bison leather bolsters (0344), Silver M cloth with Silver Bison leather bolsters (0345), Black Bison leather (0203), Black extended Nappa leather (0318 ) or Silver extended Nappa leather (0319). So the Bison came with the cloth, and Nappa was complete.

For anyone who might be interested.

This site is able to supply many OEM options for BMW seats.
I've contacted them to confirm if they can supply to non-trade customers.

Ok thanks. I was leaning towards it being Natur as well.

[bradnic]

Looks like Natur cloth. Pearl would have been earlier year. Surprised it's not natur perforated vinyl..

Hey everyone,

a couple of queries.
i have a 1990 318is with 0307 0382 natur, were there ever sports seats made in this colour and pattern? I've never ever seen one.

Also, anybody know what this is (pics below)? I can't match is correctly in the guides on page one, it's not clear enough for me. Is it Pearl Beige or Natur?







Thanks in advance.

Not sure whether the variance in red hue from the 87 Cardinal Red to the 88 Cardinal Red is because of a product shift in color or just the difference in lighting/image quality between these images. Great post for a good reference.

They also have different codes.

[Silver Wagon]

anyone know what these are? sorry for the bad pic. its only the fronts and they didn't originate from the car there in. also they have a "halo" headrest.

Updated with 1989 colors now. From a US brochure.

Yea I've seen Leather bolsters with Houndstooth on an M-tec 1 car, but not sure if it was factory. It looked bloody good!

ahh cool Ray. fwiw here's what I ended up with - still need to paint the door trim and carpet once I find the correct dye.
