It's actually not that difficult.
Though the common thought is this is only a repair you should do if you really have to, but BMW actually made it fairly easy. When done correctly, it's just a lot of spot welds being drilled out, and then once you do that, the panel is easily swapped out.
Probably the hardest part is the two seams that are brazed from the factory (in the trunk gutter and the top of the C pillar.
But, I took a bit of a shortcut because this is just the race car, and did two lap welds down the side. Did the same thing on the opposite side when I replaced that corner last year. It's easy enough to blend and look convincing, but a street car or someone else car I would have done the full panel replacement and drilled the spot welds on the B/C pillar and lower rocker panel.1991 325i MT2 Touring (JDM bro)

I think shadowline is just a term to describe black window trim instead of chrome. The SA version is the 320is ;) Best of luck, would be awesome if you can get it in without too much trouble!An E30 will ruin your life, in a good way.;)

At the front of the exhaust your seeing cats, it's hard to see in the picture but there is 12" resonators at the rear. It's stupid loud and sounds horrible. I got my mufflers today we will see how much better it gets soon.
