It seems like the McCartney book on 02 restoration has some templates for things like that way in the back...but I don't have it in front of me right now.

I'd seriously question drilling panels like the hood and trunk, unless you live in a dry state. 

Some of the stick on stuff is surprisingly good, also not all of BMW's trim pieces fit well now, the corner piece on my hood new from BMW is a poor fit.

Steve,

My trim is off the car. I suppose I could make some kind of template for you, but I'm not where the car is and won't be for another month. I also installed new fenders, so I would hope those holes are properly placed. 

 

Drilling new holes for the trim would make me extremely nervous. My body guy covered my mirror hole and I'm nervous about drilling that!

I don't have trim on my car right now with the original holes everywhere.  I suppose I could get a big sheet of paper and make a rubbing if someone needed it.  The car is a '76 from CA if it makes any difference...  Or just take measurements...

Dave.

'76, totally stock. Completely.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
