I don't want to admit how long it took me to do what you just did in 3 days!
Lower pich welds lined up seems to be the best compromise. Have you considered how you are going to attach the door seal since you no longer have a pichweld to locate it? Do you even care?
I went around the car for a long time making sure that anything that was going to be easier done with the body still removable was done before I welded the two together. I rehearsed every inch of the scar to make sure I was going to be able to fabricate and weld what was required. Underdash in particular.
Question: "Was the BMW drive-able as is?"
The 122 doesn't have a body side door seal. Just on the door.
Yup. I had to replace some parts that were sold previous to me buying it (the guy had already started the part-out process), but with minimal cost I drove it on/off the trailer to get it home and I would drive it up and down the driveway after cutting in order to clean up. As soon as the two are stuck together I'll drive it out of the way to clean up the massive amount of metal dust that needs to be cleaned up.
