Thanks Rolf, but this doesn't look like Buffalo leather. Somewhere I've read/heard that the first 7er (E23) already had Buffalo leather on offer.They used to come out with lovely pleated soft leather seats not sure if they were buffalo leather but they looked and felt great to sit in.
I practically spent hours looking at every detail of this photo when growing upOh memories
Likely Bison leather since these interior were quite common on post-1992 e34 and BMW didn't make Buffalo interior in "silbergrau-hell" or simply light grey.They used to come out with lovely pleated soft leather seats not sure if they were buffalo leather but they looked and felt great to sit in.
Yes, Executive package on e23 had Buffalo leather.
This E34 M5 had a fantastic sounding engine, classic BMW straight six warp. In those days BMW were the kings of NA high performance engines, they were on par with Ferrari engines for Kw/Ltr specific output. When this M5 came to SA in 1990 it had these horrible looking turbine flat rims that looked like hubcaps, I think many owners changed them to these ninja star rims. The E34 is very rare now its starting to become a collector's item.
In fact both wheels design you describe are hubcaps, the rim are exactly the same between the "styling 20 - M system 1" and "styling 21 - M system 2".
Looks pretty mean in this shot
This one looks tasty with the AC Schnitzer style deep dish wheels.
For some reason that I don't know, of all those presented in videos and reports today, none of them have those PRE-LCI turbine wheels, which give them such a stately appearance, a shame.Feeling Nostalgic.
1990.
