Newbie Q on Interior Interchange

Post by desertkyorugi »

Just bought my first E24, an 84 635csi euro with cloth interior and was wondering what year leather interior is a direct swap?
Thanks.

Any of the E24-based interiors can be fitted. So, basically '82 - '89. Why not keep it original, though, as the cloth interiors are seen so much less often?

Thank you. I believed originally the car came with leather interior. PO swapped in the cloth manual Recaros and rear seats.
For me it is just a personal preference for leather interior. Anyone in So Cal wanna swap? :D

You can use the last 7-digits of the car's VIN to see what the original options were:

Been meaning to ask, is there a color code somewhere? I could not recognize Nutria for example.

The nutria leather has a medium to dark brown color that develops a a lovely patina with age. Very different from the typical top-dyed leather.
