E93 Stitching Extra Code

[stef1808]

Hi,

Am looking at a e93 m3 but slightly concerned with its history.

Would yellow stitching be in the extras list in a vin decode?

Basically does this



line up with

WBSWL91020P323924

or does it look like its been reupholstered?

The Vin suggests to not be a UK supplied car...I have had a look on the UK system

I could be wrong....I think it was a Greek market car

Also, the photos are from a Greek website. Pretty sure yellow stitching/details were not offered

Definitely a reupholstered interior, originally all black

Yellow was offered as an individual option here in the UK

Even though the interior code is saying all black the stitching would not change that code but be a separate side note...

I think there is a good chance its factory looking at the stitching and how it is done with the centre line

Talk to the relevant country suppling agent who will be able to see it on there systems

Happy to be mistaken, it was in fact a factory options, school day every day: https://www.m3post.com/forums/showpost.php?p=95013...

So were saying it could be just original owner having bad taste?

My concerns was the car is advertised as low millage (20k) and new looking leather - so a reupholster job would raise flags here

On a completely side note - how well does the e93 drift?
