So as not to confuse our U.S. ‘02 owners, you are referring to the Modell 71 (April 1971 to August 1973) and Modell 73 (August 1973 and following). These signify significant upgrades and model changes, but do not refer to U.S. model years.

 

All Modell 73 and later cars have both plastic front side grilles and square taillights. Excepting, of course ?, the touring model, which retained round taillights through the end of its production in April 1974.

And on the flip side, Modell 71 brought the knee trim, long bumpers, 2 piece dash, and a texture change to the seat vinyl.  Early 71 types had the 'clamp' seatbelt, later cars had the familiar belts.

According to an older book I had on BMW's, the Modell 71 with the new trim began manufacture in May of 1971.
