Violet leather was a normal option for '95, but not a common one. I believe it was dropped after that (probably available as an individual option though). With the stats I've run so far only about 1.3% have the violet leather (29 out of 2,300) and that percentage grows smaller when you consider the exterior color (20 of 2,300 or 0.87%).

I would love to keep the violett but the driver seat is trashed. Thanks for the info

I have been a member of this forum for only a few days. I have gathered a ton of information from it so far. I traded my old impala to my Grandaughter for her 1998 318ti. The BMW's fan would not work this last summer and the windows will not go up and down. I have found solutions for the windows on the forum.

Now I find this thread which hopefully will provide much more information about the car. The thing that shocked me about the car so far is that I can even fit in it. I am retired and pretty heavy (275) and I actually fit in the front seat.

Anyway, the last 7 of the VIN is KC30493. I am looking forward to the info and would like to thank you in advance for your effort put forth on this forum.

Recent Member. I also have a question as to whether this is a searchable database or just a collection of individual items?

My VIN of interest is: AS98508. I have read this thread from Mallard's initial announcement. It is a wondrous piece of work and sustained devotion!
