Factory Interior Options

[Paragon]

At the risk of hi jacking some one elses thread, I am researching what my car should have in it for the proper interior - cloth, and I could do with some help.

Real OEM says the code is 0379 which looks correct.

The car has been partially stripped out and I need headlining, door cards, carpet. What colours go with 0379 ?

The seats have a checked Anthracite cloth, with a Recaro badge. I have not seen any pictures of E30 seats with badge on it yet.

Any suggestions ?

I don't believe any BMW has ever come from the factory with a Recaro badge, Recaro stitching or any other type of advertisement beyond the small logos on the seat adjusters or seat frames. I love that Anthracite Ueberkaro II cloth interior.

I was having some trouble getting the picture downsized.
The front door cards have been cut up, can any one tell me what colour / cloth they should be replaced with ?

I have a really hard time believing the Recaro emblem came from the factory. Someone had to have installed it after the fact. I could be wrong, but I would wager against it. Beautiful seats though!

Maybe some one stuck them on ? I never considered that it might not be factory.
I don't get to the car very often, I will have to have a careful look next time I am in the shed.

I just don't think BMW would display a non-BMW logo in their cars. They re-brand their factory stereos made by Alpine and Pioneer and don't display those logos, so why display a Recaro logo on the seats? Each part will have a small logo somewhere on its components that isn't visible unless you look for it, but only for identification purposes as opposed to design or decoration.

In Europe you could order an optional RECARO seat (normal shape, not the SRD), see :

However, the one in your picture seems like a normal "Sportsitz" to me, as it has the rear hardshell.
The optional RECARO has soft fake leather around the rear and no badge.

edit: my Überkaro Antrazit cloth interior comes in combination with all fake leather side panels, but I don't know if that's how it came from the factory.

That's very interesting, but I don't see any Recaro emblems pictured or referenced by part number in the diagrams. :^)
