I'm going to be purchasing a new carpet kit and wanted to ask for any advice/experience on which company others have purchased from. Right now I'm leaning towards stockinteriors.com. Let me know what you all think. Thanks

They look pretty good and not as pricey as I thought... Will they send a sample or swatch?
Yeah but our 'black' isn't actually black, it's anthracite, which is dark gray.
Jet black carpet would look so weird...

L7s that I have seen had lighter gray carpet, would look super weird.
I've never seen a vintage BMW with actual 'black' carpet, closest is standard anthrazite.

I have the carpet I pulled from an L7, I will snap pics when I can.
MAYBE the carpet color has been bleached by the sun due to cars with no tint. Pop rear seat up for the best possible match.
I make E23 parts.

Ford, MB, and GM round out the pack.
IMG_0621.jpgi pulled the carpets from an L7 and they're pretty dark, almost black. Certainly darker than the anthracite in my e34 m5.
