I know its nappa but its not the normal black or yellowy-white ive seen in the past,
my bolster is torn quite badly (bought it in this state).
The cars in estoril blue and the interior contrasts well, i dont want to have to swap it out with something else, im struggling to find replacement leather to match it.
Someone must know.

Put your VIN into a vin decoder it'll give you the full spec including the leather colour, judging by the kick plates it's an individual leather but it's very dirty I'd go with maybe Platinum? But as it's so dirty difficult to tell and it actually looks too grey to be platinum but that could be the dirt and grime.

There were 4 "standard" individual colours for e90 leather

Platinum/Amarone/Rust brown and Champagne so I'd go with Platinum the shagged out version. biggrin

This is clean platinum:

Lolz at the dirty comments

Looks like an e46 - I don’t remember that colour being an option but it does have ‘individual’ kick plates so could be an individual option..

Not sure why I thought it was an e90 as you say it's an e46.

Still dirty. biggrin

Yeah it seems to be an E46. Looks like an E36 colour inside so I imagine you could probably order it.

The lighter colours are Cream, Ecru and Champagne, but I'm sure there was Ivory and Lotus White options that I can't seem to find again.

I love the lighter colours!

My E86 has Pearl Grey and my E91 has lemon - so much better than predictable funereal black!
