Can somebody help ID the pictured chrome brackets and what model?

[Jim Stone]

I thought they were hoops or maybe trunk items but….?
Appreciate any feedback.

I do not have those on my coupe

 

[Jim Stone]

I didn’t take these off my coupe but appeared in a move I made a few years ago. Trying to reduce inventory.
Thanks for ur response.

i don't remember them from any vintage BMW that i have had - 2002, e3, e9, e12, e28, e30. of course it might be something from one of those that i never took apart. if you think its from a vintage BMW, one other option is to go through 'vehicle trim' section on realoem and keep looking through different series.

I'll take a shot. Dinette table edge trim from '80s RV?

Where would the world be without comedians!?

Great feedback too and I’ll check RealOem. I did start checking the W&N parts catalog model by model earlier but then gave up.

I don't think that was a joke.
Looking at the profile of these parts, I can't picture any application on a car (let alone a BMW) that would have something like that....

Just my nickel. Good luck....

out of curiosity, what is the size of these pieces?

 

[eriknetherlands]

looking at the hole size, and the pattern of dirt on them, I could only estimate them being about 1,5 foot long, 40-50 cm or so.
The round edge seems clean & shiny, whereas the flange that has the screw holes is dirty, indicating the part was on the outside of the car, but the dirty flange was not easily accessible for cleaning, likely covered by another part, also placing the (ugly) screws out of sight. .

wild guess: trim around a rear light cluster?
or perhaps around a front grille?

Could it be the trim of the chair bmw e3 type I ?

 

[eriknetherlands]

Could it be the trim of the chair bmw e3 type I ?

think not, the sides are too short. on the E3 the sides are parallel and about the same length as the base portion. And on the part from @Jim Stone one side is slanted/angled.

Here’s the dims: ~40” x ~7” x ~1.25”. Six holes in each strip. The ends measure 7” or so.
Thanks for the help.

Update: a friend tells me the strips are off a ‘66-‘68 2000CS door panel. Make sense? See pic.
Thanks.
