      i think it was blue, i think the sticker in the engine bay said metalliblau. ill check tomorrow and let you know. i never seen another e30 with the original color of mine. so its a shame the owner before me repainted it that color. and upon inspection turners out the front driver fender was replaced and front end is not stock :(

                    I guess I should update since I did some today, my cars been sitting in the driveway for the past few months waiting to get engine work done but I still havent really gotten all the info I need yet.

                    Decided to do a partial teardown of the interior because PO put a crappy ass carpert and it bugs the shiit out of me.

                    OEM color was, wish it still was too;


                    Here are some pics of how it looks as of this morning;



                    Havent done the proper rear pb conversion yet but i put it on anyways;



                    Interior shot, PO did install M3 seats front and rear which I like a lot!!




                    My driver seat is a different material than the passenger and rear. Anyone know what its called?
                    Driver Seat;


                    Passenger Oem;


                    Here are the seats out of the car side by side;


                    Here are some of a dirty m20b27



                    And finally removed the crappy carpet to reveal an even crappier tore up oem carpet lol;



                    And found some sketch wiring lol;


                    Thats all for today cars gonna stay like that for a lil while. Thanks for looking.

                      The PO on my 91' did the exact same thing but with the heated seat wiring and he was so confused why the fuse kept on blowing...

                        Yea when I do the entire interior refresh Im sure I'll be finding some weird ass shit.

                        So far I found misc. wiring and a green rag stuff up in the HVAC console area. No clue what its there just a corner of it is sticking out.

                          So after receiving my new coolant hoses from Blunttech I decided to tackle the mysterious coolant leak that caused my overheating a few months back.

                          After replacing the hoses the leak now comes from the water pump, specifically between the water pump and pulley.

                          Anyone know if I just need to tighten it or do i need to replace the water pump?

                            For what it's worth- after looking at the jankety-ass nature of the interior- i vote replace the pump either way.
