    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.

    '91M5 - 11/90, was mine, it's Jim's now.
