Sill plate positioning

paulockenden · 03-14-2025, 09:07 AM

I wonder whether someone can do me a favour…

If your car was supplied with sill plates from the factory (i.e. it isn’t a recent build), would you be kind enough to take a photo that shows the exact position please?

Mine came without, and I’ve bought the correct parts for the two front doors(*), but I’d like to make sure that I fit them in the correct spot, because there’s a lot of wiggle room.

Thanks a million!

P.

(*) still really annoyed that I had to buy them!

I basically used the front of the seat bracket as a gauge to line up the M on the sill with it.

Mine didn’t have them when I bought new and had to add as a separate purchase afterwards

is that doorsill thing only available in Europe or something? I can't seem to recall seeing that over here in North America.

can US BMW dealers order those? if anybody has the part number for the doorsill, please share it. Thanks a lot!
