In the early years of 8er production, there were a large variety of upholstery colors/fabrics to choose from BMW's official catalog. By the 1993-94 model years, BMW re-evaluated the upholstery catalog for the 8er and promptly removed underperforming colors.
This particular upholstery color was rarely seen in the 8 Series and was offered as a standard interior option from September 1989 through August 1993.
The pictures provided are from Luis Moreno's 1991 850i in Brilliant Red (code 308).
