seat pattern? (pics)

[Philly]

Well,
I posted up pics of my interior in another thread and just asked out of curiousity what seat pattern I have... and Sk8nmidget told me he had never seen it before, and I got to thinking - that ive never stumbled across it either in my BMW forum-to-forum interweb travels....

Im sure its nothing special, im just curious... so have a look and if you know or have seen it, please speak up.

Car = 11-97 build date / base model

damn foreigners get all the nifty interior! if it was suede and sport i would be stabbing you through the screen right now! and you have rear headrests!

Like i said on the other thread i haven't seen that either. I have a 98 Base Ti. Prod date 10/97 but i have the leather option on mine. I also have the rear headrests but that too is leather. You should also put this on bf.c to see if someone else has it.

Nice, they almost look like Hebrew writing.

Have you asked Mallard to run your VIN and give you the list of factory options???

[thesk8nmidget]

There's got to be a BMW fabric catalog somewhere out there. There are TONS of different BMW fabrics/leathers/etc out there. Any dealer employees know where this might be found?

Just look at all the options on just one realoem.com Euro 318ti page.

Each one with it's own set of colors too.

"Montana" Leather
"Bambus" Cloth/Leather
"Millpoint" Cloth/Leather (we know this one at least)
"Bison" Leather
"Nappa" Leather
"Water Buffalo" Leather
"Flat Textile" Cloth
"M-CROSS/AMARETTA" Cloth
"JACQUARD" Cloth
"PIQUE" Cloth
Imitation Leather
"Clover" Cloth
"BOA BOA" Cloth
"AMARETTA" Cloth
"SCHATTENSTREIFEN" Cloth
"CROSS-HATCHING" Cloth
"NET" Cloth
"Structure" Cloth
"RATTAN" Cloth
"Oregon" Leather

Seriously!!!! I've done a bit of research and found pics of odd euro fabrics for the E39 and E46, but this is just crazy.

Here's some embossed leather patterns I've never seen as well.

With all the money American spend buying BMWs (I'm guessing the largest foreign market by far) why don't we have access to the BMW Individual program?

wow, I don't even know what kind of leather I have in my interior now

[Philly]

would Mallards VIN decoder say specifically the type of cloth?


Im glad I made this thread, I had no idea there were so many options!

I really want to find a "fabric catalogue" as well!

it just said "Leder Schwarz" for me, which I assume is German for "black leather," doesn't tell me specifically what kind of leather, my ti is US market though, maybe yours will be different

[Philly]

very well could be...
mine is strictly canadian spec - has the DRL relay behind the cluster that says "CDN" on it - KM/H gauge - etc (....if there are any etc's )

[Philly]

made a topic on BF's...

got this reply

It's a Canada-only, ti-only thing. No joke.

waiting to find out how he knows for certain... if thats the case, thats pretty cool IMO
