Product Description
BMW 325Ci Coupe 2001-2005 Door and Rocker Kit, 1.188", Eight Pieces (TH25900)
TH25900 is an eight-piece polished stainless steel kit for the 2001-2005 BMW 3 Series 325Ci coupe. QAA files it as "Rocker Panel Trim, On the rocker & Lower Kit," with a combined note: "Installs below the door AND Spans from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width." The listed width is 1.188".
A wheel well detail worth knowing
This coupe's linked parts include two wheel well accent kits, and one of them depends on a rocker kit. WQ25900 is described as "Full Length." WQ25901 is "Cut to fit with Rocker kit sold separately." If you're planning to buy wheel well trim along with this kit, that wording suggests WQ25901 is the version meant to work alongside rocker trim. The data doesn't name which rocker kit it means, so confirm with 877-752-3811 before ordering the pair.
Two zones, one width
The note puts steel below the door and on the door from the bottom up. The record doesn't say how the eight pieces divide between those zones, or whether 1.188" applies to each piece. Study the photos, and call if it's unclear.
Fitment
BMW 3 Series, 2-door 325Ci coupe, 2001 through 2005. Other 3 Series bodies aren't listed here.
The other coupe parts
Besides the wheel well kits: GC25900 gas door cover trim, HL25900 headlight accents, LP25900 license plate bezel (6.33"), MI25900 body molding insert kit (six pieces, 0.8125"), PP25900 two-piece pillar post kit, and RD25900 two-piece deck trim (2.5"). Check each listing for its finish.
Specification
The eight 325Ci coupe pieces are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel cut in the USA, set directly over the existing surface on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says it will hold for a lifetime without harming the BMW.
Sorting
Split the pieces into door and rocker groups using the photos, and label every liner.
Prep
Wash the lower doors and rockers, clay off grit, touch up chips, and finish with isopropyl alcohol. Give the rocker a few more passes.
Install order
Doors first: rest each door piece on the bottom edge, liner on, and close the door slowly to check the ends. Then mark a painter's tape guide along the rocker and set the rocker pieces to it. Look at both rows together before pressing.
Measured joints
On a coupe viewed from the side, any mismatch shows. Measure each joint from the wheel openings and copy it.
Supplies and timing
Soap, clay bar, touch-up paint, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape, a tape measure. A warm, dry day, and about a day before washing.
Care
Non-abrasive polish only; rinse road salt off regularly.
Before ordering
Confirm your car is the 325Ci coupe from 2001 through 2005, and measure the flat band at the bottom of each door and on the rocker below it. If you plan to buy wheel well trim, mention that when you call 877-752-3811, so the right version can be matched to this kit.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, On the rocker & Lower Kit
- Unpack all 8 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.
