Something weird about this M5 on ebay

[Derek A.]

Black interior with beige carpeting.

Seems a little weird. Generally on a lower mileage example like that you would not have a need to replace the carpeting., especially on a black car.

How do you know that the carpet was replaced? It looks like it was cleaned, but you really can't tell if it was replaced.

I think that's the way it came. Trunk carpet is a match.

Is that really the proper glove box?

[repenttokyo]

I don't see any replacement carpet....I do see floor mats...Aand the auction states the interior is original.

What am I missing?

Flood car maybe?

Was it a special order M5 item ? light colored carpet with a black interior ?

[632 Regal]

I think this was covered in a thread a while back and someone confirmed that it was an option in our cars...something like that.

I am not that familiar, the single sided exhaust threw me off, but I am not sure about it. Where are the OEM wheels?
I don't think I would expect to see wood trim interior in '91.
Are those rear buckets with refridgerated storage?
I see the front seats, they are sport seats.
Looks like a nice car.

The earlier m5 didn't come with wood. I think I have seen '93 cars with it, but never a '92 or '91. Some Euro '95 cars had a cool dark grey wood trim, something I'd love to get my hands on.

The listing was pulled so I'm guessing something was weird with it. Deviated colored carpet versus interior would be an individual item--probably possible but not likely. I have never seen wood on any US M cars except 1993s.
