SE Side Skirts, a myth?

[M3KUK]

From the Zone Wiki, The Special Equipment sideskirts were fitted as standard to Touring and Cabriolet models, and were also found on all SE models of the 320i and 325i.

Well I have a facelift Cabriolet with no skirts and also a facelift 325i SE 4 door without them either?

What gives?

My 320i SE coupé has side skirts as standard from factory.

Only SE models from 1990 onwards had the skirts, possibly the lux models too

Early SE cars didnt have them

[Jesus325iTouring]

I had an early facelift 87 325i SE this also did not have side skirts. Both my Tourings did 89 & 91.

My 1987 Chromey 320iSE and 1988 facelift 325iSE (both 2-doors) didn't have them, although the 325iSE had almost everything else.

Looks like they were fitted to 1990 on SE and LUX Saloons and Tourings.
These are £90 a side from Cotswold btw.

Can't find any Cabriolet ones, only Tech 2 ones which are ££££££££.

I had an early '89 318i touring with side skirts but my '93 LUX touring doesn't have them (and never did according to the spec sheet) - I think when buying new, the buyer could basically spec what they wanted and didn't want if they were willing to pay.
My LUX touring was sold with an Mtech 2 steering wheel from new (but no other Mtech bits) and also a map light mirror, although the mirror has been replaced with a standard one at some point over the years
