'74 Door Cards ?

[Hansome]

Hi All

I'm looking to shed some light in whether the door cards between models are the same or changed in '73 along with the other upgrades : ) 

I wanted refresh mine but I feel they are too far gone and wondered about replacing them? thanks in advance

They're different between 73' and 74'.  The earlier model years had a double chrome strip, vs the single chrome strip for the 74' on, among other minor changes.

 

Early

 

Late

AFAIK, the ‘fiberboard’ panels beneath the viny/trim is the same across years. I’ve seen replacements in both fiberboard and plywood if you’re looking to move your trim to new panels.

awesome !! it answers both my questions really!!

 

I have speakers cut into mine and a door pocket too but the reality is the clips at the lower edges are pulled through the fibre board and the hole cut in them doesnt help.

I need a new boards so I think ill go shopping

 

thanks for the replies !!

I thought door pockets only came on the 73-75 Euro Lux models. ( along with different upholstery with cord/velour, wood door capping, and wood fascia  behind the ashtray, front seat head restraints, leather rimmed steering wheel, dipping rear view mirror, inertial safety belts, intermittent wash-wipers and more).

 

Would you happen to have an L on the left handled edge of your rear 2002 badge? Do you have any of these other Lux package features?

BMW following their parts bin engineering  used the door pockets off of the e3 line and they can be added to 02 door cards

I have spent the last hour checking if I have any of the Lux edition items ...... only head rest (from that list )

but this is a Portuguese model and they come with a lot of variances - I have seen various '02 for sale between '71-early '73 with square rear lights?? 

 

im certain its more to do with the parts bin theory and not the Lux model I'm afraid
