    Default The build date is 9/90.....

    which is a crossover month. 1991 M5s were built in early 1990 and were 4 seaters. The black interior came with gray carpet and gray headliner, etc....no options. Also the t-star covers were not available until late 1992. The covers that came on that car were turbine style.

    And the Style 21's were available as well.

    According to the venerable ETK, the black interior was put into use in 9/90, making the black headliner and other trim more than likely "stock" on this car.
    The cost of buying those parts and installing them wouldn't make sense to most people.

    Why is the overhead light cover white?

    Looks a bit out of place in that black car.

    I am not buying it until he switches it out!

    Default Don't always rely on the ETK for accuracy.......

    even when you put your VIN in it. I have had it only give me black or silver for interior parts when mine is all gray....had to resort to specifying 1989 525i to get some part number I needed for my 6/90 M5. It also state twin mass flywheel for my car when in fact it is a single mass flywheel. The ETK is not as venerable as you may initially think, especially when dealing with crossover production dates like 9/90.

    The headliner could have gotten trashed, dirty, started falling off, etc. Maybe it needed replacement. The car may not have a lot of miles on it, but at some point age takes an equal toll. I was merely pointing out the fact that the headlinder, etc *could* be a replacement because of the gray carpet. Most black interiors had black carpet along with the silvergray or black headliner......

    My 11/90 M5 has grey carpet and black headliner and has the rear bench seat. I'd swap it for rear buckets/breadbin in a heartbeat.

    Supersprint exhaust adds no discernable power increase but it does sound nice, especially in a tunnel at 7200... Cam gears are next for me.
