Looking for 1969 2002 Lower Panel Mouldings

[John Southerland]

I'm trying to find a full set of all six bottom moldings for my 69 2002, If anyone can help me find some or wants to sell a set, or almost a set, in negotiable condition, please message me or reply here.

Thanks, John

 

Here is a catalog picture of the left side, I'm looking for 11, 12, and 13 as well as the other side.

Unless your 69 was modified (upgraded) or you want to add them, your 69 should not have these moldings from the factory. I think they first appeared on 2002's in 1971.

And, when added to these earlier cars, they usually go along with an upgrade to the long-tail rear bumpers.

The trim is still available new from BMW: mid-$250-ish for the full set of 6 pieces from sources such as Steve at Blunttech (username BLUNT). I recently saw a used set sell for nearly that price on eBay: I suppose a lot of people never bother to check the price for new parts!

Regards,

Steve

I'm beginning to think the only thing 1969 about this BMW are the tail lights, I may have to create a new thread somewhere more appropriate for the rest of that conversation, but here is a picture of the left side I just took to clarify.

John,

Jim, or Scott, pointed it out in your other current thread. Someone simply added a '71-'73 rear bumper to your '69. If you are trying to make the car more original, swap your long-tail bumper for a short-tail bumper. If you are trying to make your car look like a newer model, add the six pieces of knee trim. Your car, your choice!

Regards,

Steve

Thanks for your help, I'm going to think about this a bit. Not trying to go original here. I do think it would look good to have the lower moulding. I'll send a PM to Steve at Blunttech, and see if he can help me find this.

Not sure if you got these parts already but I just got mine. Ordered from Maximillian Importing Co. got it all pretty fast. I just purchase a 2002 and started dealing with Maximillian and have had good help. Food for thought...
