BMW Cloth Upholstery Material Width?

Post by Dale Hedtke »

I am planning to purchase some Marineblau fabric P/N 51921846038 thru a BMW dealer, but they can't tell me how wide it is. I think it's 1.5m but I'm wondering if anyone knows.

Thanks in advance

Rooting through the Wallothnesch catalog they show a width of 1400 mm for vinyl which is 55" if that's any reassurance.

I ended up purchasing a slightly different fabric from BMW as the E12 cloth was NLA. I bought P/N 51921817333.

The color seems a bit darker (than my 40 year old fabric) and the corduroy wale is narrower.

It is 1.6m wide.

Hello Joe,

I know this is topic is a little old, but was the material ordered 51 92 1846 037? Is seems that 7 meters would be enough to do at least 2 vehicles? Do you have comfort seats or Sport sits?

On the other hand, has anyone been able to contact Marek lately? Thank you

I haven't reached out to him..I bought 7 meters (extra) just in case..I have comfort seats.
I haven't completed my seats yet as my upholsterer passed away due to covid..

I have found another upholsterer he recommends I go with leather..
have you tried BMW I believe this material was available last year..
Best~
