My E9 was originally Polaris with a navy velour interior (as so many gray-market CSis were). After I had it repainted Signal Red (most people think it's Verona) in 1988, I happened into a '75 CS that came over from Saudi Arabia that had a tan leather interior. I swapped interiors and sold the '75. So the seats, door cards, and these handles all came from the '75. which doesn't explain it either...
