Japan Colors  

Japan (definition): This area includes the country of Japan (including its territories). 

Information provided: 2,513 vehicles with option code 807 (Japan market version) were inventoried through the BMW 8 Series Inventory Project.  There were 25 exterior colors applied to the E31 Japan market version.  All exterior colors and interior upholstery colors are cataloged and can be viewed within the sortable tables.  Data is grouped by model and color code.

  • Three color groups, Blue, Silver, and Black, comprised 79.03% of the colors produced for Japan.
    • The group of Blue exterior colors represents 28.29% of the Japan market BMW 8 Series produced 1989 through 1999.
    • Following a close second are the group of Silver exterior colors representing 27.38%.
    • Rounding out the top three color groups are Black exterior colors representing 23.36%.
     
Notes
  • This 8er data is for Japan (with Market Version code 807).
  • There were no M73 850CiA's built for the Japan market.
  • The upholstery code, LEDER NAPPA/GRAU (N4TT), was exclusive to the Japan market.  This interior was part of the BMW M62 840Ci Japan Individual with BMW ///M bits.
  • Under upholstery data, the legacy code is listed first (where applicable), followed by the new alpha-numeric code.
