(Terra?) Brown interior on the E82?

fknlewis · 12-11-2015, 06:13 AM

So I've seen a few pictures of the 1 series with the brown interior and I loved it. Though after searching I can't find where these come from, seems to all be E9X seats, which I guess don't fit. Is there anywhere I can find these or are they just refabricated?

AFAIK, Terra was an option on the E82, at least in the US for some model years.

And one advantage is that if you have a "Depends" moment, they hide the evidence pretty well

I had the AW/Terracotta leather on my previous 1er, and I absolutely loved it. It's definitely not easy to find these days, and now I'm stuck with JB/Black Leatherette seats D:

From what I read, Terra later replaced w/ Tobacco was a customer order color only (ie: not a standard stock color) for both the e82 and e88.

I found my AW/Terra E88 after a LOT of searching. It is a unicorn color but worth the search/wait IMHO.

Yes, terra leather was a customer order option. I have it on my 2009 128

The second 1er I went to look at before buying mine was BSM w/Terracotta. Not a bad color combo but the car wasn't in too good of shape. Also didn't care for the beige headliner.

Thanks guys, I've never seen one with brown interior here in the UK, though I seen it on the 3 series and fell in love, I really need to look harder for it as I really want it!

Yup same situation when I was shopping for my car. Really wanted the terracotta, but the beige headliner was nasty.

I tried to order Terracotta on my Deep Sea Blue 135is back in 2013 and BMW said they had stopped producing it by that time and wouldn't let me order it....love the colour!

Terracotta in my Monaco Blue 135i

It has cold weather package, but not premium. So my seats are Terra leather, heated, manual, with adjustable side bolsters.

I would've loved to get that interior in my Monaco Blue 1er... Much nicer than the beige I've got, but not boring like the black interior.

aseawood · 12-16-2015, 10:13 AM

My 135i is Deep Sea Blue with the Terracotta leather, it is a 2013 which was actually manufactured late 2012. It is a good looking combination, I just wish the paint was in better condition for only being 2-3 years old. I can try to get a picture of the interior up here when I get home.

Can anyone tell me, is the Terracotta real leather or is it the synsatec nonsense I had in my mini?

Thanks!

fknlewis · 12-16-2015, 11:06 AM

Nice photo!

Yep I would love this on my LeMans coupe, can't seem to find it anywhere for sale though

Same here only with AW, I settle on black w/ blue stitching. Still disappointed I couldn't get terra.

I just went through a dilemma. I bought a space grey car w/ grey interior but if that deal fell through I was looking at a blue 135i in Fresno w/ the dark brown leather interior. In those cars it's destined to be a classic!!

mr.fabulous · 12-17-2015, 01:54 PM

Not to hijack the thread... but how did you get manual seats in a 135? I would love that

Mine has them too. I actually like them better than the electrics. It has plenty of adjustment and less to break down the road.
