RealOEM isnt showing me how to fold the napkins
RealOEM won't help with that, try something like Alldata or Motologic. That'll give you the factory folding specs.

Wish I saw this like an hour ago. Just placed an order.
-
can't wait for someones report on what these look like. may have to buy a stockpile - $1.00 for a 200 is pretty good!

A message from pelican parts regarding my recent order:
"I attempted to call, but unfortunately I was unable to reach you.
BMW just notified me that following item is No Longer Available (NLA):80-53-0-141-818-BOE
Genuine BMW Part: PAPER NAPKINS ** NLA **I was unable to locate a substitution for the part above at the moment.
I have cancelled the item from your order.We apologize for any inconvenience this may bring you."
-
too bad, although I'm not surprised. when I initially found them on FCP, they were listed as NLA as well.
i wonder if i send napkins through my HP printer it will jam....

back to it:
i settled on some bmw coasters. scale models of BMWs with the m60 engine are hard to find (1:18 scale, particularly, but 1:24 too) no 840 or 540 models, boo.
not sure if this is a real BMW part number, but they sure seem quality and are never used.

Those coasters look fantastic!

thanks! the part number doesn't give me any results, so not sure where the heck these came from. super duper uber unicorn rare!

updates! if you are allergic to cats, leave now.
Before I finish the block (polishing and painting) I wanted to figure out the feet. The block could be left alone and just set on the floor, but this will help with moving the table and not scratching nice floors.
Here are the front feet. used the oil pan bolt holes, a nut/washer and bolt and some rubber table feet. height adjustable for leveling!
Here is our cat inspecting the feet that I just installed to make sure they are up to code. (this actually happens in a lot of photos, those who have cats know what Im talking about)
I decided to use casters as the back feet to ease in moving the table around. I used some 1 1/8" square aluminum tube, medium duty non-marking fixed casters, and plastic end caps.
Installed with m10 bolts
Here is the the gap achieved. Will work unless you have 70s shag carpet.
