not sure, but those are not seats for a '74 / '75 CSi. those are 73 and older seats. not sure what the official color name is other than its tan or can be described as peanut butter. curious what the VIN on this car is.

Ok, thanks! I assume that this is new and custom made and nothing something BMW offered back in the days? I tried to contact the seller of the car but no reply...

Look at GAHH Automotive #916 saddle color

Howdy,

I am pretty sure that color is the same as mine. Its called German Napa Leather Hans Reinke "Gold".

Hope this helps!

Jim

Thank you so much guys! Ans it is so hard when you have them next to each other and also different lightning...

@jim, is it glossy or matt? Is it called Royal Gold? https://www.hans-reinke-shop.de/de/...lter_url=de/?gm_boosted_category=&language=de

That looks like Mercedes Benz Bamboo to me: https://e9coupe.com/forum/threads/seat-upholstery-color.38034/post-324464

Looks exactly like Bamboo to me...And I love it...I think this is the car from IG? https://carsandbids.com/auctions/36NxGPRl/1975-bmw-30-csi?utm_source=chatgpt.com

It is for sure Royal Gold, and its matt. To me and others it looks like "peanut butter".

Ok, perfect. Your second picture looks exactly like what I´m searching for...When scrolling the pictures from C&B I can see that the lightning matters a lot. If you scroll those pictures, do you still think it is the same as yours?

I THINK its the same....BUT....the C&B pics vary from pic to pic depending on the lighting and color saturation. Any way to ask the seller for 100% confidence?

Thanks again, I saw in the add that the car was restored by Oldenzaal Classics and I sent them an email and asked. It is soo hard to choose from the pictures depending on the lightning etc. I want the perfect blend of red/yellow and brown...I´m meeting the guy who will do the interior and hopefully I can post some samples and you can help me choose..

Saddle. Nice choice.

 

[Sonny Crockett]

Thanks again for the help and now I´m waiting for a sample from the company that sold the leather to the interior. Will post some pictures here and then we will see..

 

[Sonny Crockett]

Houston we might have a solution...First, can I ask you to tell me which one do you like the best of these two..?

 

[rsporsche]

one on the right is too orange for me. the other one looks darker than the door panel ... it could be the lighting where the pic was taken.

 

[Sonny Crockett]

The one on the right is same on the one from Instagram. They sent me these two samples...

 

[rsporsche]

it might just be dye lot variation. you might want to ask them if that's what it is ... or if its 2 different colors.

 

[Sonny Crockett]

Two different colors..I asked them to send the one on insta and an alternative to that one...I asked chat to make one with the darker one...
