Reply With QuoteHello Fellas I run an 88 535 this has the rubber trims on the base of all the doors. I have sourced a set of the later model solid trims but can't get these to fit. Anybody know the secret?

First make sure you have the right ones - some of the later ones likely won't fit/match correctly (Mtech vs rubber).
They are a pain to put on - take a look at the design, you will see they go one with a little force - I used a block of wood and rubber mallet to help (that was after I painted where there was surface rust). Mine were the Mtech ones (painted, not rubber). I can't speak for the difficulty in the rubber ones.

what do you mean the later model? i haven't done the door trims but if the ones you have are for an e34 i hear they go on pretty easily.Originally Posted by dave.o
My 535 has plain metal sills with rubber strips on the door bottoms. Later models have plastic sill covers with plastic door bottom trims. I am trying to fit these plastic trims to my doors. I think these were possibly a M Tech option but on later models became standard. I removed these from a later model 525 in the breakers. Hope this clarifys things, as at the moment they definately don't go on easy hence why I am asking for advice.
