The coupe only
Fitment names the 2-door 325Ci coupe. A 3 Series with a different body or model designation is not covered by this listing. Check the trunk badge and your registration.
Two pieces, 2.5 inches
The data gives two pieces and a 2.5-inch width but does not describe where each piece goes or whether that width is per piece. The photos show the layout; call if you need more detail.
Five model years
2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005.
Wheel well choice

Material
26-gauge 304 stainless, polished. No plating.
Mounting
The two 2.5" 325Ci pieces go on with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states it will hold for a lifetime with no harm to the BMW.
Older paint
A coupe from these years can carry years of wax and some fading. Wash, dry, and wipe the full footprint with a residue-free cleaner, and repair any weak clearcoat first. A wide accent needs good paint under its whole area.
Fitting two pieces
Lay both pieces out with liners on and match the photos. Mark their positions with painter's tape and check that they line up with each other. Install one, then fit the second against it, pressing from the center of each piece outward on a dry, mild day.
Care
Wait a few days before washing. Mild soap and a soft cloth. Check the inner ends of both pieces after the first wash and press them down again by hand if they need it.
Planning the whole coupe
The lineup covers the front, sides, and rear. A good order is rear first, with this accent and the bezel, then the rocker set and the matching cut-to-fit wheel well accent, then the head light accent and body molding insert. Starting at the back on the simplest pieces gives you a feel for the tape before the long side runs.
Why stainless
This accent has no plated layer to lift; check each linked coupe listing for its finish.
Before ordering
Confirm the year, the 2-door 325Ci coupe, and the layout in the photos.

Installation tips: Rear Deck Accent
- Unpack all 2 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle, using the product photos, before fitting any of them.
- 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.
- Fit one piece at a time and compare each with the product photos and the pieces already in place.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
