Product Description
PP25917: Four-Piece Pillar Trim for the 2002-2008 BMW 7 Series (Not the LI Model)
Read the note first: "Does not fit the LI Model." PP25917 is a four-piece set of polished stainless pillar covers for the 2002-2008 BMW 7 Series 4-door sedan, and the listing excludes the LI model in so many words. It doesn't say why, and it doesn't list any other exclusions. If your car's badge, paperwork or your records say LI, this set isn't for it. If you can't tell which model you have, call Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 before ordering and quote PP25917.
Price is $56.99 and the covers are made in the USA. The linked alternative is PP25918, a six-piece set with the same years, sedan tag and LI exclusion.
Deciding between them comes down to the photos, because neither listing names its pillars or gives a width. Put the two galleries next to each other and look at how the shapes differ. If these four cover the areas you want in bright steel, it's the shorter, cheaper job. If the six-piece pictures are closer to what you have in mind, order that. Choose one set; we can talk it through at 877-752-3811.
The listing covers 2002-2008, seven model years, so confirm your year falls within it.
What you're buying is a cosmetic face for the posts between the side windows, cut from 26 gauge 304 stainless and polished. That grade resists corrosion without any plating, so there's no coating to flake and there's no other metal hiding under a scuff. Warm soapy water is the only cleaning it needs.
The covers go on with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, directly over the existing surface. You won't drill and you won't remove any trim. The Installation tab has the temperature range and cure time.
Check the post finish closely before you start, because the tape bonds to what's there. A powdery film, fine cracking, a lifting corner or heavy wax all need attention first. Repair or strip as needed, wash and dry, then wipe each post with rubbing alcohol until a fresh lint-free cloth shows nothing.
Work in the shade on a dry, calm day. Lay out the four covers and compare each with the photos; call if one is bent or missing. Sort the 7 Series covers using the gallery. Hold each against its post with the backing on, nudge it until the edges look even and frame it with painter's tape. Peel, settle it into the frame and press firmly along the length and both edges, then move to the next.
If a cover won't sit flat, keep the backing on and phone 877-752-3811. After curing, wash with car soap and dry with a soft towel. Allow an unhurried session, mostly prep.
Gather the supplies first: car soap, a bucket, rubbing alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil, plus a helper if one is around. And before you order, take the gallery out to the car on your phone, match each of the four shapes to a post, and check the model badge once more for those two letters.

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.
