I believe interiors like that were usually custom ordered by the original owners. Like the Individual program, Alpina would do any color you wanted. Case in point the E31 B12 in Techno Violet and Techno Violet...

Oh I agree they offered that. But for this range of E36s they must have offered it as standard. If you click through the Alpina Archive it's hundreds of cars with mostly Alpina cloth and some leather, then all of a sudden every single car has purple, blue or seafoam green Alcantara. Then it switches back to clotch / leather for the final several cars. I've always found that strange.

I noticed that as well. It seems the ones they offered as "30th anniversary Editions" had the coloured interior like that. I prefer the "normal" Alpina cloth myself.

Well that Technoviolet B3 sure wasn't cheap. Sold for over 900k JPY. I had a bid in around 600k, but obviously that wasn't even close LOL!
