Product Description
BMW 7 Series 1988-1994 Four-Piece Mirror Stainless Pillar Covers (PP90917)
PP90917 gives the 4-door BMW 7 Series sedan four pillar covers of mirror-polished 304 stainless steel. QAA lists it for model years 1988 through 1994, and the pieces are made in the USA.
The only 7 Series pillar kit listed
QAA does not link any other pillar kits or related parts to this one, so it is sold on its own as a complete four-piece set. The catalog has no coverage note for it, which means the data does not say which posts the four covers dress. The product photos are the guide, and we can help by phone.
Model years
1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, and 1994 BMW 7 Series, 4-door sedan. The Fitment tab shows the record. If your car has had body work or replacement doors, compare the photos with your pillars before peeling any liner.
Bright, not plated
Each cover is 26-gauge 304 stainless steel with a mirror finish polished into the metal. With no plated coating, there is nothing to flake, and all four pieces share the same tone.
How it mounts
3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape is used, and the covers install over the existing surface. No removal of trim is needed. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the vehicle surface.
Readying older paint
A sedan from the late eighties or early nineties has had decades of washes and waxes. Before installing, wash the pillars, let them dry, and clean them with a wax-free product so the tape meets bare paint. If you find chalky or lifting paint where a cover will go, take care of it first.
Install steps
- Choose mild, dry weather and put the 7 Series in shade.
- Prepare the pillars as described above.
- Hold each cover in place with the liner on and check it against the photos.
- Peel each liner and press the cover hard along its length.
- Fit one 7 Series cover at a time and check it before moving on.
- Hold off washing the BMW for a few days.
Each step is set out on the Installation tab.
Getting the 7 Series covers even
Use the door edge and window corner as fixed reference points when placing each cover, so every one sits the same way. Step back after each piece and look before you press.
Pillar posts
These are the upright body sections around the door glass. Polished covers outline them while the existing finish stays underneath.
Care
Wash with a mild soap, rinse, and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid scouring pads and gritty polish.
Before ordering
Confirm the model year and body style from your title or registration. If anything about the fit is uncertain, a short call before ordering is easier than reworking tape afterward.
Why polished pillars
Bright covers frame the side glass and make the window line look crisp, while the original pillars remain untouched beneath them. For an older sedan, they are a cosmetic refresh that takes an afternoon rather than a trip to a body shop.

Installation tips: Pillar Post Trim
- Unpack all 4 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle, using the product photos, before fitting any of them.
- Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so clean and dry the mounting surface first; the tape needs paint or trim free of dirt and wax.
- Align the piece and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface, working along its full length so the tape bonds evenly.
- Fit one piece at a time and compare each with the product photos and the pieces already in place.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
