I would be surprised if it left the factory like that, if it did I would say its a rare combo and worth keeping. A VIN check will confirm the originality. BTW I don't dislike it either.

Yeah, I'll be happy with an all beige interior. I even thought about doing a color change to camel in order to have a little darker tone for some contrast but still keeping it on the same color range.

Now, the risk there is that since the green is such a dark color that coverage would be more difficult. Like I said before, some go to a white base first and then the actual color.

The challenge with getting new seats is how expensive it is adding €500/600 euros of shipping alone which is both ridiculous and understandable at the same time due to the size/weight of the seats and the distance.

Lovely Z by the way!

It is original, you can look up other Zs in google with the same color combo.

For the non-believers, see VIN decoder screenshot.

If that colour combo is original, I’d keep it as it’s rare. At some point I’ll look out the actual marketing literature on these cars and double check.

Being in Scotland I can appreciate carriage can be a problem, have you thought of just having the covers shipped and not the whole seat?
That’s how I got mine, £60 inc carriage for the backrest and base. Backrest even came with the foam inside. Worth considering if you don’t have heated seats but want them. Element kits are £25-28 per pair.

I shipped my old Z3 seats from Cumbria to Ireland with World-wide Parcel Force 48hr tracked a few years ago, about £30 a seat IIRC.

Edit: Parcel-to-Go, £38 per seat.

@Sean d changed the colour of his interior to White from Black (IIRC) you can't really get more extreme and the results were awesome.
