    Let's see your interiors. Time to whore your E21 out!

    I'm on the cusp of changing out my interior so I've got interiors on the brain. Post up your interiors and show off any custom work you've done.

    I'll start it off with a pic of my stock interior (except for the steering wheel).

    Gasp! Why would you change a perfect blue cloth interior? Those are ultra rare, I know because I searched for parts for mine for many years. Later it evolved into this:

    I don't really care for the color and the driver's seat and rear seat and rear deck are pretty bad. The rear parts are heavily sun faded and brittle. The black will also go with the overall color theme I have in mind.

    Did I just ruin this thread?

    Any "after" pics Adam? I gasped when I saw that, but I'm sure the custom work will be beautiful...

    Here's mine, interior was completely redone by a PO:

    Funny, I thought you were talking to me for a second. I was wondering how you knew my name. My user name comes from my uncle, who used to call me Adam 12, after the old TV show.

    Funny stuff.

    I will not defile this thread with pictures from my interior.

    Bookman1785, that throw pillow cracks me up every time!
    Didn't we make a joke about the OEM part number for that one time?

    Still searching through the W&N list for it...

    I think at one time someone here had me convinced it was a special Alpina throw pillow. Not my finest hour.

    Thanks! Wish I could take credit for that look, but its actually the original Artiksblau paint that's been roasted by the sun. The door panels/fenders dont have it so bad, but a new paint job is in its future.

    I posted mine and already defiled the thread. I think you should contribute to the corruption

    There are no after pics. That's what it still looks like. I need to get it running before I put the interior back together. I did get a mint back seat and rear deck from a '77 320i though. So it's looking a bit better. I'm going to make a non-a/c center console soon too. Here's one that I made for my e12 (please ignore the waviness. It wasn't totally done when I took this pic):

    I'll get around to the carpet and dash after I (ever) get it painted.

    That will be perfect Adam (Twelvism) you can put the black interior in and then resell the blue stuff for profit!
