    Would someone be able to tell me any information on this rear valance?

    I have a '91 325iX, and the rear valance needs some replacement. It's warped, rusting, and just needs to be retired. I don't know much about aprons or valances, and I'm having a hard time finding just the regular stock one. i don't want anything crazy or fancy, just to replace this one. Any info would be helpful. Thanks!

    I would find someone parting a car out, or just a used one in general.

      That's stock. You can get new metal from BMW Dealer or aftermarket - https://www.classiceuroparts.com/pro...30/body-panels OR https://e30rescue.com/

      Probably have some rust further than the I can see in there that may need attention while your there..

      I was up above it, Now I'm down in it ~ Entropy - A Build thread.

        It's a welded on part, or technically multiple parts, and maybe even more depending on how bad the clearly visible rust is in both of the rear boxes. It a decent project, but you can do it yourself as a total amateur if you are so inclined since all of the repair seams are typically hidden or overcoated with a quality high build undercoating and simple rattle can two part paint.
