Great video. Interesting!

I thought I had seen in another video that they had patched that hole. I noticed this time that the wheel wells were painted black even though stock seems to have been body color.

Greasless front wheel bearings too

Great film , how cool that they could & would build a new 02 in 2006 ,brilliant.

When the video was first posted it also showed the rear panel being converted from a square light panel to a roundie. I guess that means that the front panel had to be converted also.

Well documented transformation of this car already exists. I don't care how they did it - just glad they did!

C.D.,

BMW never offered a "non snorkel" OEM replacement nose piece, even back in the day. I cut the left side from an old nose (above the battery area) when replacing, and weld it where the snorkel hole area is on the right side of the new nose and then it looks original.

I think my tii had a replacement nose job done in the '80's after the first owner wrecked it. I can tell by the vertical welds and the way the battery tray was welded. No snorkle tube on my nose.

It's possible a used nose was installed at that time.
