hmmmm
the doors are definitely different, but I *think* the panels are the same- at least close enough.



I sold some 535i sedan panels to someone who put them in his touring, maybe he'll chime in..........

Thanks, let me know. Looking to find a set of 95 door panels to plant into my 92 Touring.

Part numbers are different per realoem.com.

It was Don McAdams who bought those panels from me and put them in his touring----- oh Don.....

It certainly appears as if the rear sedan door panels will fit the tourings and vice-versa.... (we all know the front doors are all the same)

The natur ones are from my old 535 sedan, and the lightsilvergray ones are from my touring. In the last pic, I fit the sedan door panel to the rear door on my touring.

Thanks Scott! I suspected as much and thought the difference was probably a minor trim difference and not anything substantial. For that moron fukem5 who posted above maybe he should realize that realoem.com isn't the gospel according to BMW. A lot of parts will fit other applications if a little research is done.

are definitely different as the small window is in a slightly different location than the sedan and the little notch doesn't quite line up.
