That may be a Paris motor launch interior, but it’s not for everyone (certainly not for me).

Agreed, interior looks a bit bonkers to my eye, but each to their own I'm sure many love it.

Nice car!

My 2p: interior would have looked lush brand new but at 150k starting to look a bit tired....putting that aside colour combination doesnt work in my opinion....would have worked with a black, silver, white, and even a grey colour car! Anyway good luck to the seller its a b5s at the end of the day so #respect

I love the interior and it's a B5S!

However it really need some money spent with a good detailer and leather expert to tidy it up and tighten up the seats. The buyer would need to have £8k ready for the inevitable supercharger replacement, which is the only real big negative hanging over the car.

Superchargers can be had for less than £4K if you shop around these days.

Pretty sure it is #457 but need to double check as the Archive suggests it should have Dakota leather. This is quite a common error for Lavalina spec'd cars as it is a default option on the original BMW build sheet.

Very impressive for the original supercharger to have survived so long, can't be many done more than 150k.
