I have a 1986 mono-lever and those aren't splines, just casting grooves that only serve to make the hub stronger and not require a machining operation.

Wow, head full.  Too much learning.

I'm glad I read this thread before I saw anybody elses rear wheel off like that.

It is odd that BMW would leave the inside of the hub looking unfinished like that.   I don't think that the K bike rear wheels of that same time period were that rough and I believe that they attach the same 4-bolt way:



Weird, but given BMW oddities, believable...
