Good day folks,

Looking for a little info.

I have searched through photos of factory brochures but did not find an answer to my question. Were there any factory optioned headliner colors other than white/ivory/off white? Specifically for a 1972 3.0CSi.

Secondary question, will the birth certificate from BMW Classic, what information is given other than production and destination country?

Cheers to all.

secondary question first - with the VIN, they will tell you its birth date, the date it was delivered to either a dealer (non-USA) or to Hoffman (USA). they will tell you the original color. this is about all of the information that you are going to get.

to my knowledge there were only 2 colors of headliners for the e9 - the CSL had a black headliner and all other CS / CSi had the off-white headliner. it was basically a white, but not pure white ... they yellowed over the years, so the exact original white color is not a definable thing.
 
i forgot that i had listed ranger white in the FAQ - what color goes where ...

E9 - color placement - what color goes where?
The main premise of this thread is to get things painted correctly, if you are striving for the look of originality. I am sure there will be some debate about certain items, and that discussion helps us all have better examples. So this is a work-in-progress. I have been collaborating with our friends HB Chris and Markos.

Soooo… my navy blue headliner is not oem? LOL. Didn’t think so, just wanted to confirm.

Thank you for the info!
