More info.
The Ebay winner in 2006 was Glenn Poe (TX). The Dallas '02ers know him & I believe he had a few '02s. Last year he was resto'ing a 1600ti.

Thanks Larry,
2590631 was for sale in the BMW Roundel magazine, Dec '86 for $14k, then again Sep '87 for $9900.
Seller was Charles Conaway, East Greenbush, NY. He stated it had 18k miles, was in outstanding condition and was a 1 Owner car. Don't know if he was the original Owner or a Dealer.
Here's the original to my Nov '73 build Touring.
Has a large centre hole, but not large enough to fit over the "nub" on the brass valve!!!!
Edit: ok, not the orig valve, but the orig cover - the orig valve was the plastic variety.
When you tighten the steering wheel, it will compress the spring somewhat and move the tab closer to where it should be.
As said, maybe the cancelling tab is bent down and needs straightening.
Both are (I believe) still available from your favourite Supplier.

It looks like your right bracket has been damaged & welded up. Your left one doesn't look too bad.
I think your original owner's manual shows a fuse layout for a '71-'72. Might want to check the date on the back cover.
OK, just checked my orig owner's manual that came with my Touring. It's also incorrect. My manual is dated 3/74. In 34 years of ownership, I never knew. The fuse sticker under hood is correct.
For RHD (Euro) the glass and reflector were different.
The triangular-ish section on the glass changed sides and that was to prevent glare to oncoming motorists when the lights were on dip (AFAIK).
First, apologies to Dosky for sidetracking.

I guess the Buyer in 2013 (I have no record of him/her) did the paint change.

A kind faqer (unfortunately I forget his name) sent me the measurements for the first two holes from the rear.
60mm to the first and 246mm to the second. I already had the 3rd hole along, and mine measured 412~413mm.
All distances taken from the rear edge of a replacement body section part & at the appropriate height.
