325Ci coupe only
The title and the fitment name only the 325Ci coupe, 2-door, 2001-2005. Sedans, wagons and other 3 Series models aren't on this record. Call 877-752-3811 if you need to check your car.
The rocker-kit cut
This set is cut to work with a rocker kit. The only rocker kit linked for this coupe is TH25900, eight pieces at 1.188", described as "On the rocker & Lower Kit" and "Installs below the door AND Spans from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width". The note doesn't name it as the matching kit, so confirm with 877-752-3811. If you won't fit a rocker kit, the Full Length set WQ25900 is the version without the cut note.
Material
The four 325Ci pieces are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel cut in the USA, set over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the BMW. The record lists no width.
Sequence
Rocker kit first, arches second. Each cut end then has something to be judged against before its tape is uncovered.
Preparation
For a coupe of this age, take time over the paint. Clean each opening with shampoo, rinse, and dry it, then let it stand. Along the band the stainless will cover, look for chips, thin edges and any residue from previous parts. Repair or remove them, then wipe the band with wax-and-grease remover. Isopropyl alcohol goes on last, piece by piece.
Fitting the cut pieces
Offer each piece up on its liner with painter's tape at the ends. Check two lines: the gasket against the opening, and the cut end against the rocker trim. Adjust until both match the photos. Then release the backing from the end away from the cut, press as you go, and finish at the rocker end with careful pressure.
Coupe group
Also linked: a gas door cover, a two-piece head light accent, a license plate bezel, MI25900 (six body molding inserts at 0.8125"), PP25900 (two pillar posts) and RD25900, a two-piece 2.5" rear deck accent.
Care
No wash for a day; then mild soap, a soft cloth and no pressure washer on the gasket. Questions: 877-752-3811.
On arrival
Count four pieces and look at each cut end and gasket edge before prep; keep every liner on until the piece has been set against the fitted rocker trim. Don't shorten or re-cut the stainless yourself; if a cut end doesn't meet the rocker trim as the photos show, phone 877-752-3811 with SKU WQ25901 and your rocker part number.
A 3 Series owner unsure of the fit can call 877-752-3811 and mention WQ25901, UPC 691821490684.

Installation tips: Wheel Well Accent Trim
- Unpack all 4 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.
- Seat the black rubber gasket edging evenly along the wheel opening as you press the trim on.
- 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.
