Hi Chris I fitted SE sills to my SE (surprisingly didn't have them already) and drilled the holes my self. It's worked fine, I just held the skirt up and drilled where the pointy bit wanted to go. Get new green grommits too they're only 19p ea from BMW.

I think you may be able to get a drilling template from the dealer?

Sorry I can't help further.

widge you say you fitted se, sills are there different types of sill available other than just 2 or 4 door ? dave cheers mate never thought of that ,"template" ,will give them a call see if they are still available

The Se sills are just black or body coloured and don't come up the arches. They just make the sill look tidier, but no sporty.

Could you not make a template from the original holes before the sills are removed ?

yup, cut the shape out of wrapping paper or wal paper and mark the holes, or summin..

i just used a strip of masking tape, and used that as a template.

yeh all good ideas guys ,probs is the car already in the garage and not sure yet if the new sills are pre drilled will have to wait and see when i pick it up .looks like a call to the dealer for a template could be my only option now ,should have thought about this before taking it keith any idea of the part number for them ?
