E21 Leather Interior?

Post by p4uke »

Did the E21 ever do a leather interior?

If not, is there any other models (example the E30) would a leather interior fit into an E21

I just fancy upgrading my interior but all the E21's seem to be abit shabby

i bought some ropey old recaros and runners off ebay.

and a spare rear seat so i wouldnt have to sacrifice my old interior.

The trimmer guy refreshed the foam and then used my old carpet to make templates for a new carpet. While i was there i saw the kiezer chiefs camper van that had been done with red leather and velour mix with a sea grass carpet - awesome bus tbh.

I basically said "trim it how you would have it but no bonkers colours please" and thats how i got it back about a week later

You all talk about a leather recaro interior but there were also normal leather interiors

This is not my car. It is currently for sale in the Netherlands. Marktplaats is an advertising site. This is an original leather interior for the E21 and was in different colours available. I have seen it in brown and beige also.
