Simon, how long did it take for the interior to grow on you? I think thats whats called oxblood, please correct me if I'm wrong, and I think it was fitted to alot of alpine white american M3's, so you would have no problem on ebay with it.

Thanks Kevin,

Every bit of luck wished is appreciated for this project.

The interior is infact "Cardinal", it is stated on the original build spec sheet from BMW although I think it should also have a red carpet. As the carpet is in great condition (albeit wet) I would imagine it has been replaced in the not too distant past.

The pictures do make the interior look more brown than it actually is.

Paul.

When I got that copy of the build-sheet I queried the carpet colour and was assured that it was as originally specified. I also spoke to the other (2) UK owners and they hadn't changed it.

"Red" seats, red door-cards, black carpets, black car.

Cool, I have that on my desk in the office at home, just had a quick look.  Is that the one with the M3 GTS on the front page, also the G Power M3?

Thanks Uwe... I just bought another S/H seat cover to re-trim the drivers seat and make it better. But if it is going to be more of a track car, obviously that interior will have to come out anyway.. watch this space.

Work's stopped for a bit.. having way too much fun in this snow
