Product Description
BMW 5 Series Sedan 1989-1995 Pillar Trim, Four Polished Pieces (PP89928)
PP89928 is a four-piece set of mirror-polished stainless steel pillar covers for the BMW 5 Series sedan. QAA lists it for the 4-door body in model years 1989 through 1995. The covers are made in the USA from 304 stainless and attach with 3M tape. The kit fits the 4-door BMW 5 Series sedan from 1989 through 1995, and the six-piece PP89929 is the larger alternative.
Sedan only
The fitment names the 4-door sedan. If your 5 Series is a different body style, this kit is not listed for it; call before ordering. The Fitment tab shows the record.
Two kits for this sedan
QAA also lists PP89929, a six-piece kit for the same 5 Series years. Neither has a coverage note in the data, so the catalog does not say which posts these four covers dress or what the larger kit includes. The product photos are the best reference.
Why four
Four pieces are the restrained option. They bring a bright accent to the side glass without changing the car's character much. It is also the quicker of the two kits to put on, and it leaves the look easy to build on with other trim later.
Steel
26-gauge 304 stainless, mirror polished. The bright finish is part of the metal, so there is no plating to flake.
Mounting
On the 5 Series, the four covers are fixed with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly onto the existing surface. Per QAA, the tape keeps hold for a lifetime and won't damage the BMW.
Preparing the pillars
On a sedan from this era, clean off any years of wax and polish first. Wash the pillars, dry them, and use a wax-free cleaner so the tape grips paint. If any paint is flaking where a cover will sit, repair it before installing.
Installing
On a dry, mild day, hold each cover in position with the liner on and compare it with the photos. When it lines up, peel and press firmly along its full length. Fit one 5 Series cover and look along it before the next. Avoid washing for a few days. The Installation tab gives the full method.
Model years
BMW 5 Series, 4-door sedan, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, and 1995.
Placement tips
Four pieces are easy to judge by eye, which makes careful placement important. Set the first cover, step back to look along the side of the sedan, and adjust before pressing. Then place the next cover to match it. Keep your fingertips off the exposed adhesive; skin oil weakens the bond.
Care
Wash with a mild soap, rinse, and dry with a soft cloth. Keep abrasive pads away from the mirror finish, and dry the covers after washing so water spots do not settle on the polish.
Before ordering
Check the model year and body style on your registration. Each 5 Series kit is a complete set, so choose four or six pieces up front.

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.
