Product Description
BMW 325Ci Coupe 2001-2005 Stainless License Plate Bezel, 6.33" (LP25900)
The product title for LP25900 names the 2001-2005 BMW 3 Series 325Ci Coupe, and the fitment row says the same thing in its own fields: one model only, the 325Ci, 2-door coupe, for model years 2001 through 2005. If your car is a 3 Series that isn't the 325Ci coupe, this listing doesn't cover it, even when the years match, and the next step is to call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 before ordering. Have your model and year ready, plus the SKU LP25900.
The bezel
A single License Plate Bezel, cut from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, mirror polished and made in the USA. The catalog gives a width of 6.33" but doesn't say which dimension that measures, so use it as a reference alongside the product photos rather than as a fit test on its own. The notes don't mention cutouts; check the photos against the area around your plate, including any lock, emblem or lights.
Fitting it to the coupe
The bezel installs directly over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so there's no drilling. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. Given model years from 2001 to 2005, look the paint over carefully before you start, touch up chips and repair any clear coat that's lifting. Take off the plate, wash and rinse the area, let it dry, and wipe it down with rubbing alcohol. With the liner on, hold the bezel in place, look at it from directly behind, and once it's centered, mark it with painter's tape. Peel, place, and press firmly around the frame, then repeat. The Installation tab lists the temperature range.
Coupe parts on the same sheet
Every cross-listed part carries the same 325Ci coupe tag. RD25900 is a two-piece Rear Deck Accent at 2.5", the other part cataloged for the back of the car. MI25900 is a six-piece body molding insert kit at 0.8125". TH25900 is an eight-piece rocker kit at 1.188" that Installs below the door AND Spans from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width. PP25900 is a two-piece pillar post kit, HL25900 a two-piece head light accent trim, and GC25900 a one-piece gas door cover trim. WQ25900 is a four-piece wheel well accent set listed as Full Length, and WQ25901 is cross-listed by number only. Check each listing for its finish.
Why start here
One piece in one spot is the easiest way to see polished stainless against your coupe's paint before committing to rocker or molding kits. It is also the job with the least to go wrong, since there's only the one frame to center.
Checks and care
Your records should confirm a 325Ci coupe from 2001 to 2005. If you run a plate frame, refit it during the dry fit to make sure it clears the bezel. Wash with mild soap and water and dry with a soft towel.

Installation tips: License Plate Bezel
- Unpack the piece and hold it in position to confirm the fit before mounting it.
- Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so clean and dry the mounting surface first; the tape needs paint or trim free of dirt and wax.
- Align the piece and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface, working along its full length so the tape bonds evenly.
- Step back and check alignment before pressing along the full length of the piece.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
