How do I identify seat color?
Is there a code for the interior or seat color in the VIN? I need to replace the drivers seat leather and can't seem to identify the color which looks tan-beige. Any ideas on how best to do that?
Thanks,

Re: How do I identify seat color?
Scott, there "may" be a build sheet under one of the rear seats, I just found mine yesterday while working back there
I was going to take a pic and post it, it has a bunch of codes, and of course, it's in German

Re: How do I identify seat color?
Here's a shot of the build tag from mine
The only number that I recognize is the VIN
Hope your son can help you out

Re: How do I identify seat color?
I sent a photo of my build tag to BMW Group Archive and this is what I got back from them. Unfortunately the service is not currently available, perhaps later this year it will be available again.
Dear Mr Collins,
Thank you for your email. Here the codes as far as I can find them in our lists:
Colour 499 ‐ special paint job which would fit to Stratosblau metallic because this colour was not offered for this model
at this time);
Upholstery 0110 ‐ Leder Pergament
44.6 ‐ Radio interference suppression
50.3 ‐ Halogen fog lights
51.2 ‐ Headlight cleaning system
52.5 ‐ Leather sports steering wheel
54.2 ‐ Electric sliding roof
55.3 ‐ Green heat‐insulating glass
58.6 ‐ Limited‐slip differential and 5‐speed gearbox with cruising gear
59.2 ‐ Recaro seats
65.2 ‐ Electrically adjustable passenger mirror
75.1 ‐ Warning triangle

We hope this is helpful for you.
Yours sincerely,
