I posted earlier trying to determine what color interiors were available on my 1991 535i. I thought at one time someone had scanned and posted a brochure for the 1991 E34. I thought I had downloaded it, but can't find it. Does anyone either have a brochure they could scan or know a link to one posted online?

I remember Shogun linking a site with many E34 brochures. I saved them at home and I'm at work right now. Try searching his posts.

Hi, here is the link to the brochure I scanned:

It's not the 1991 edition but it should give you an estimate :)

11/90 color and upholstery for the BMW 5-series indicates four colors for leather upholstery. Not sure colors were in any of the full model line brochures in that era. At least they were not in my 90-91 e-34 brochures. Colors are are in my 95 brochure.

Parchment
Ultramarine
Light silvergray
Black

Sorry, no scanner. Hope this is helpful

That does help. The problem is that not all monitors show the same colors. On your brochure, is parchment leather more of a grey or tan? I still probably need to see a 1991 brochure. You know how colors change and go in and out of style over the years. I found a guy who has a complete rear seat he wants to sell that's in near perfect condition. The only question is whether it's the same color as mine. More research...

The parchment color in the 11/90 color brochure is not tan. It has a brownish-gray tint. Perhaps a mauve color? It looks like the same color in my 95. The silvergray is much lighter and is approaching white in color.

natur and pergament are not easy to distinguish over a computer or in pictures unless they are held up next to each other and taken in the same light. Most natur stuff was 1989 and 1990.

I posted pics of the interior of my car and a pic of the seat for sale. If one of you happens to have a brochure with pics of the colors, can you compare them? I still am not sure they are the same. Even with digital pics, it's still hard to tell. With different lighting, cameras and monitors, it's difficult to know for sure. There is no doubt that my interior is the light silvergray that Russell listed. The donor car is listed as a 1990 535i, black with gray leather interior. The question still is whether there was a medium gray available in 1990.

Thanks!

1991 535i (with light silvergray interior...I think) :)
