News on the touring vs. sedan rear-door panel debate

[TouringDan]

It is now 100% confirmed -

Rear sedan door panels are completely compatible with touring panels. I installed a set of 95 panels on both rear doors this morning.

With duct tape and chewing gum?

Nope - snapped right in. They are exactly the same. The only issue is the plug for the screw in the armrest - need another one. I also swapped out the wood trim. The ones that were on this panel were a much darker color than my original ones.

Pre Leatherique cleaning: note that the edges line up perfect.

Could have just cross-referenced the part numbers in www.realoem.com also :)

Sweet! New panels on the way.

Could have just cross-referenced the part numbers in www.realoem.com (http://www.realoem.com) also :)

Partial Leather & wood trim, Silbergrau Hell - Rear left panel:
Sedan: 51428126985
Touring: 51428149759 (and listed as NLA)

Thus the confusion....and why I had to try it. It has been debated on here for quite some time and nobody was dumb enough to actually purchase a set that may not fit. That's where I come in... I'm kinda dependable in doing things that don't really make much sense....

Is it worth while starting a cross reference sticky? Are there enough interchangeable parts to make it worth while?

Nice job man. Shrike, you should get this added to the E34 DIY section with your couple pics and part numbers to prove it.
