    What color is the headliner in your 318iS?

    I heard they had black headliners but I have seen some with and some without. No dye jobs please. What did it come with originally?

    I have confirmed 51922250903 was fitted to the E30 318i/iS M42, M3 and E28 M5. Now I'm wondering if it was an option or just a matter of exterior/interior color on the 318.

          My first E30 was a DS 318is that had a black headliner. I junked the car, not realizing how rare the black headliner is.

                My first E30 was a Sterling 318iS, and it had the tan/beige headliner.

                I just picked up a Brilliantrot 318iS, and it has a factory black headliner.

                    Alpine with black vinyl/leatherette originally (swapped to anthracite cloth at some point in its life) and beige/tan/gray whatever you want to call it headliner. I wish every time I sit in the car that the headliner was black, though, haha.

                    '91 318is - OBD-II S52 swapped - E30 M3 5-lug - 5x120 BBS RC090 (E39 Style 5) - TCK D/A coilovers 550/700 [SOLD]

                    '93 525iT - 5-speed swap - 320k and counting

                      The 91 318is I picked up had a black OEM headliner, although it had no sunroof. It is white and had cardinal red seats, not sure if they were original.

                            Alpine white with no sunroof and black headliner from the factory. Is this rare?

                              Good to see I wasn't losing my mind. I was talking to a 318iS owner recently about this and he was surprised and said he never seen a 318iS with black headliner.
