Looks perfect, indeed. That hole is a factory transport thing, or something like that. This one is with an angle, the left side is straight.
It's the man next door!

Oh good to know. I wondered that this side had angle and the other side is straight. Then it is okay and i did it right. At First i want to weld it straight.

Nice progress.

Since i'm not a e21 expert, could somebody explain the function of the tube running from the backseat to the top of the left wheel arch?

The tank breathing hose goes there. The filter is placed at the end of the tube on top.
