My car is a CA edition and not sure if headliners were made in different colors. Parts I Do Not Need: -Dash, I am installing the gray one of our my M3 race car project -Console, as above -Front seats, unless M type, I may just install Recarro Speeds, I have had two sets before, love them! Willing to pay well or trade for my black parts.

If you could take them out to Ontario my business is ran from there now and I could have them packed and shipped to me for a good price as I have a FedEx acccount there and a freight account. Let me know what you have, pics would be great as I am only looking for really good stuff. I like the black interior but just to hot for our doggies ram@raamaudio.com Thanks | | | 06-03-2013, 05:11 PM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2011 Location: Heber City, Utah Posts: 242 | I have a pair of front ti seats in sand gray. The upholstery isn't in excellent condition but at least you would have the proper color seats to have reupholstered. I had a seat redone in Provo last year for $300. I have other interior parts in sand gray as well. No rear seat. If you are getting rid of your black rear hatch shelf I am looking for one. | | | 06-03-2013, 06:14 PM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2013 Location: Morgan Utah Posts: 214 | I will have to make this more clear, I have an exception list, I do not need gray seats unless the M, sport, etc type but most likely I will buy a pair of Recaro Speed seats for it. Thanks, Rick | | | 06-03-2013, 08:39 PM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2011 Location: Heber City, Utah Posts: 242 | Sorry, I thought I was helping by telling you what I have but you obviously are the only one that knows what you want and I am an idiot for not understanding what that is. Good luck finding the parts you need. I won't bother you any more by posting in your threads! | | | 06-03-2013, 08:58 PM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2013 Location: Morgan Utah Posts: 214 | I was trying to say I needed to make my info more clear, which I did, I was not giving you a hard time, that is not how I do things, sorry for the misunderstanding. Sincerely Rick We were just down there last weekend, took the doggies(Akita and Irish Wolfhound) for a walk in Park City then down to that great Mexican place to eat in Midway, we love Grannies too.

It also will not quite properly line up with the door panels, but it's a minor aesthetic thing. I'm working on refinishing a set of Dove Vaders now if you were interested, but Recaro seats will probably be cheaper by the time I'm done... __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.

I have nicely rolled M3 fenders, M3 mirrors, now the dash........ I could live with the minor fitment issue with the doors not quite matching up. But, any sedan dash with the right color available to match a ti gray interior? Thanks, the more info I have the less mistakes, wasted time and money Rick | | | 06-04-2013, 06:35 AM | #10 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: norcal - 94590 Posts: 3,186 | To make it even more challenging, The grayish ti interior is called "Sandgrau". E36 M3 grayish interiors were a Dove Gray. Close, but not quite the same... Everything in front of the a-pillars is from a e36 sedan, every thing behind them is unique to the compact. __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.

Fenders, hood, windshield, etc...I take it as well? I have a vented hood I was going to work over and use but it does not fit. At least some parts from the sedan do fit I need to find a local bit of Sandgrau to compare it to the Dove Gray M3/coupe dash I have to see I I want to go that route.

Thanks | It is not the only gray color, but the most common... There were dozens of color combos/options... See here; http://bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/E3...m_panel_front/ The hood, fenders, front bumper, trim work etc, is all the same as a sedan from the windshield forward. __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.

NOW! | | | 06-05-2013, 05:04 PM | #13 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2013 Location: Morgan Utah Posts: 214 | I did not expect so many options, I figured two colors, 3 at the most like most cars have, especially on their "entry level" car. It is hard to tell some colors in pictures on the net even though I have a very high end color corrected display on my HP 17" laptop I just had built. I really want gray, have some Sandgrau available I am looking into that is a nice color as well but not sure how it would look with a silver car. Thanks | | | 06-15-2013, 03:13 AM | #14 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2013 Location: Morgan Utah Posts: 214 | Still looking for an actual gray interior, the sandgray does not match well with a silver car, my wife likes it though. We might have a complete swap available here in UT, thanks to wodcutr It is not my favorite color being sand....but I guess I can get used to it if we do it. BUT, I like the lighter just gray better so still looking Thanks Rick | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
