Product Description
QAA Full-Length Stainless Steel Wheel Well Trim for the 2001-2005 BMW 325Ci Coupe (WQ25900)
The BMW 3 Series coupe, listed by QAA as the 2001-2005 2-door 325Ci coupe, has wheel openings that define its side profile. QAA kit WQ25900 outlines those openings with polished stainless steel. The trim is finished with a black rubber gasket edge where it meets the arch.
Full-length coverage
QAA describes this kit as full length. The trim follows the whole curve of each wheel opening rather than just an accent section at the top of the arch. The kit comes as four pieces. Compare the product photos to see how they lay out on the car before you start.
Gasket edging
What sets QAA's wheel well accents apart from most of its flat trim is the black rubber gasket edging. The gasket runs along the edge of each piece and gives a finished transition between the polished steel and the wheel opening. You see a clean dark line between the bright trim and the arch instead of a bare metal edge.
Material and origin
The pieces are made in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, polished to a mirror shine. On a BMW coupe the bright arches pick up the light along the flanks and pair with any existing chrome or bright window trim. Solid stainless means the shine is the metal itself, not a coating.
Mounting
Installation uses 3M adhesive. Each piece carries 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and installs directly over the existing surface around the wheel opening, with no drilling. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the surface of the vehicle. Work one arch at a time. Seat the gasket edge evenly along the opening, and compare each piece with its opposite-side partner before pressing it down. The Installation tab lists the steps.

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.
