FS:red sport crimson interior complete OBO

[JasonC]

Looks like Early cardinal to me. The darker kind.

cardinal is cardinal. There is no darker kind. Over the years they offered 4 different reds for e30's. Each with it's own name and shade.

It is out of my 84 325e.
Don't think it is the stock interior that came in it.

I can take a close look if there is any color difference in the back and front seats.

I put obo for a reason. And this is my first time selling anything on R3V I expected some shit.

I don't know exactly what this is worth but I was told by a good friend of mine(that's been into e30s for 14 years)to put it up on here for what I originally posted.

I will part with front seats
all door cards
and rear seats
if someone has interest in completing your own set.

84 would be Cherry, but since you're unsure if it is original, then closer inspection would be needed. And i'm going to clean up this thread where people didn't offer up any help.

From what I understand there is indeed a difference between early and late, similar to how early tan vinyl is a more gray tan and late is a more yellow tan. My vert had very dark cardinal, kinda like cheuks IX, and I've seen late models with a much brighter color cardinal. We came to the conclusion before that it was probably the oxblood color renamed as cardinal for the US market.

here's a nice sticky on int colors, http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=104955

As one can see, there are different color reds, they are all different names and shades. Along with the "tans" have different names and shades. They are not one name, labeled on a color and then shades changed through out the years.

[Wschnitz]

Vin decoding must be really faulty then

Edit:

That and RealOEM is really bad, they label there being an early natur color and early cardinal rot. Ugh, Jasons right, thanks for the link!

What year e30 is this out of? The back seat looks like Crimson, but the rest looks like Cardinal. Also Crimson would have matching carpet and no plugs in the front door panel for the window crank. Cause 88+ did not have those and Crimson didn't come out till 89 or 90.

The door cards look Cardinal, but the front seats don't? I know that Cardinal is hard to capture with a camera, but the seats look too light and bright to be Cardinal in the sideways seat photo. Also, Cardinal front seats should have matching Cardinal stitching.

At least some 88 cars have plugs on the front door panel. My 88 iX has the plugs, though it is a 10/87 build.

This interior seems like a mish mash of different red interior parts put together.

It's not. Factory red interior cars have matching red carpet and red rear parcel shelf.

Yes I was pretty sure it wasn't stock interior.
Although the shitty cell phone pics might not capture it.
All red interior is the same color. From what I can tell.

Had a couple pms and texts about this interior and yes it is sill for sale.

Come on guys enough BS and discussion about this interior! If you want to buy it then post otherwise figure somewhere else to find out what shade of red interior this is!

B U M P ! !

[Lyfesideways]

Thanks b fra.

I would say considering some of the interior sets I've seen on here and Craigslist. This is a steal of a deal.
Someone buy it!

[Wardie]

Might aimlessly drive up there this weekend and check out those door cars. I don't NEED them I just want to see if they are faded or not.
