What's the story behind the factory installed ones? Part of an option package or just a stand alone option?

Every is i�ve seen in Spain came with the black roof liner. What was standard in the U.S.?

I'd figure they had a bunch left over from earlier production & installed them for the sunroof-delete option.

I'm not sure how many interior or exterior colors actually were available. I've only personally seen E30M42 sedans in four exterior colors (red, white, black, silver) & two interior colors (black & grey).

e30 iS Coupes seem to have more options...I suspect sedans must have sold mainly out of dealer stock.

Mine came from the factory white with a tan interior. Still is for about another three weeks . . .

I got a black suede headliner but I'm not sure if I'm going to install it or not. After hearing about all of your sunroof issues I'm not sure I want to go there...

I've seen grey, beige, black and blue vinyl interior. With beige and blue also being offered in cloth.

I have only seen beige headliner. dkbmxer I am jealous of your black liner.

I am sure i've seen more than Red, White, Black and Silver exterior. But I cannot be positive.

Sunroof issues are oh-so-solved, except for the relay (LTS was right - it doesn't matter much). It was the slip clutch adjustment. It only needed a twist or two...I'm very pleased with myself.

I still have to re-cover the sunroof panel, the vinyl has curled off the whole front of my spare panel. I'm thinking about foam-backed tan cloth. Anyone have a good fabric suggestion or color match for the stock roof liner? I'm off to Michael's or Joanne Fabric sometime soon!

Let's put it this way, i've seen close to a thousand of E30's. Never once with a black headliner.

a few pictures... the check panel isn't hooked up, just filling the hole since the stock 318is one was messed up. color looks off due to the flash at night, i'll take more in the day time. it's also dirty, just need to wipe it down.

Maybe it was an early production thing. Anybody else in the USA with a factory schwartz headliner and a build date?

Not me. 8/2/90, beige w/sunroof.
