Replacing model designation (new or newly painted tailgate)

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2016 BMW 760Li, 2015 BMW 760Li, 2014 BMW 760Li, 2013 BMW 760Li, and 2012 BMW 760Li. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Transfer position of model designation (1) from old tailgate by making an adhesive tape template.

For paintwork, keep adhesive tape template up to installation.

Stick masking tape (2) to nearby reference edges of tailgate and therefore determine position of model designation (1).
