Stock Speaker Grill color?

[Mark 88/M5 Houston]

Looking in the ETK this evening to order another front speaker grill for a subwoofer installation like Duke's. The two colors listed that I thought would be the closest were Nutria and Lama. Any one have a good guess?

The nutria is a brownish green and the llama is a medium brown, IIRC. Do you ahve the color code of your car? Look at the under rear seat tag or ask a dealer parts guy to pull up the build sheet from BMW AG if you want to match what the car had originally.

I don't know what Duke's looks like, but I have speaker grills. But as far as I'm concerned black speaker grills always look fine, there is plenty of black in any of these cars.

I agree. I know the original speaker grill color for my 528e was lama (the fronts are still that color), but the rear speaker pods are black for some reason. Looks fine to me, even though there's absolutely no black back there. . .



Geez, I'm getting bad about posting pics allllll the time!

May not be interior bits that are black, but the backlight gasket is black, tying it all together. As you say it looks fine.

thanks for making your pictures fit the forum.

All of my pictures fit the forum except for two, and those were accidents. I didn't realize those few pics of my old eta were oversized. The rest of them, I always resize down to 640x480.

Be nice all folks would resize to either the 640x480 or some other size that keeps all the stuff on one screen. Would make the forum easier to use. Sure if the detail is necessary a pic that needs to be scrolled i sok, but a whole car scrolled is a pos picture in my eye as I can't put it all together. Ever since folks complained about the limited content of your website when you first started it, you have come a long way and done a nice job for the E28 community, with posts that work to the old website with all the cars and all the stories about your repairs. Even your kill stories about killing another E28. Wow what a life.

What are you talking about? I said I DO resize my pictures, and you go into a tangent about my website. Maybe I need more sleep. . . ~z~

Yeah, and it'd make the pages load more quickly for those of us who have to use dialup at home. Folks could also use thumbnails and learn the html to make them clickable so that you could go to the larger pic if you want to... oh, wait, you can't do that on this new forum! %)

shifty, I was putting in a personal comment about the board. I thought I said you did resize and wanted others to. since I am not gonna reread my post, most of the stuff I write isn't worth reading twice, I did not want to claim I did say you resized, expecially after a Shawn D. post. If I err, he'll catch it and there'll be heck to pay.
