God's Chariot. The E30 was produced primarily from 1982 through 1991. The cabriolet was the one exception which was produced through 1993. |

White vert with ? color interior
Thinking about redoing the interior of my 92 vert with mtech body. It is white and the interior needs help. Any suggestions? I live in FL so I don't want to go with black. I currently have a blue top. Pics if anyone has some.

white car with a blue top .. you've pretty much narrowed that down to requiring a blue interior. anythign else will look extremely out of place.

I think the color is called sand. It is not quite white. When I take pics, it looks white because the power top was up and I was working on it. Now I will be able to get the top down and will take some pics and get a closer look at it. I have it at my mechanic's but am picking it up tomorrow.

I'd go for white leather interior. I think it looks amazing on a tech2. Then get a hardtop to set it off

The actual color is Lotus White and I got some pics of another restored to that color and it looks awesome. I did some serious cleaning of the door panels, the rear panels and the tonneau and it is looking good. I think I am going to recondition and redye the seats the original Lotus White color. Has anyone had any experience with Leatherique? I was thinking about trying their product.

I was going to say a tan interior. White gets dirty easily and dark colors will get HOT in the FL sun.
But what do I know cuz I have a coupe.

Finally took the time to start on my interior. I ordered the leatherique kit and have started. Here are some before pictures of my interior. Hopefully, I will be proud to post the after pics
![]() These are the rear seats. I will post some pics of the front which are a totally different color and will be dyed BMW Lotus White to match the rest of the interior. Last edited by mlbryant8; 05-26-2011 at 04:28 PM. |

Here are the pics of the front seats. Got them out of a Mitsu Montero. Very nice leather. Built a frame to fit. Much more comfortable and supportive than the bmw comfort seats. Don't like the recaro seats that came with my cabrio.

Leatherette is awesome, I had my front seats redone in it. So you're not keeping the BMW from seats in the car? You should keep them around for a while in case you change your mind, ask me how I know.

I put aftermarket seats in my car, and after a few years I wanted my BMW seats back. They didn't fit right and after a while got old. Since I had gotten rid of my bmw seats, I had to buy and reupholster a new set.
