      They say there are no stupid questions but... Let's just say you have a lot of reading to do.

      Your 325e is an early model "series 1", or "pre-facelift". It came from the factory with a "valance". Some companies made body kits for the series 1; Zender, Alpina, Hartge even BMW have their own M Tech 1. Most would require the proper euro bumpers instead of the ugly American diving boards though.

            It's not like the old days, where you had to go to the library, search the card catalog, or old magazines. Order countless catalogs or find feature cars where they state what kit they used..etc. Then wait a few weeks, or dial long distance and hope that you can catch the manufacture during business hours. Then give them a Visa or send out a check and prey that your piece shows up in 4-6 weeks (or more for international) and hope it's the right one.
