According to the 2001 parts catalog, the answer is no. It is an E46 thing only.

However, as others have done with their 3er, you could always remove your head trim and have it painted.

Just an idea!

As i can see, its not so easy:tsk:

It just looks bad - I installed that inserts in my car in about 20-30 minutes....it didn't this long because there was anything really difficult, only because I went slowly and carefully (lots of little plastic tabs that like to break). Plus, it was march, and I was freezing my a** off!
