Product Description
2004-2010 BMW 5 Series Sedan Pillar Post Trim, Four Stainless Pieces (PP25930)
For a 5 Series sedan from 2004-2010, PP25930 offers four polished stainless covers for the window pillars. The fitment row is tagged 4-door, Sedan, and the price is $56.99. The steel is 26 gauge 304, cut and polished in the USA. One linked alternative sits beside it: PP25931, a six-piece set with the same years and tag.
The years cover seven model years, so check your records rather than going by memory, and make sure the car really is the sedan the row describes. If anything doesn't make sense, Quality Automotive Trims answers on 877-752-3811. Mention PP25930 and the year on your paperwork.
How do you choose between four and six? Not from the text, which names no pillars and gives no width or note for either set. The photographs are the guide. Open both galleries, look closely at the outline of each piece, and work out where it would sit on your 5 Series. If these four shapes land where you'd like polished steel, this set does the job with less work. If the six-piece pictures are a better match, order those. The four 5 Series covers are pictured in position; we can confirm by phone.
These are cosmetic covers. They give the posts between the side windows a bright face and change nothing about how the doors or glass work. Grade 304 holds up to corrosion without a plated layer, so there's nothing to flake off and no second metal beneath a scratch. Plain soapy water keeps the shine.
Fitting uses 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, laid directly over the existing surface. No drilling, and none of the BMW's trim needs to come off. For the temperature range and cure time, see the Installation tab before picking a day.
The tape is only as good as the surface beneath it, because that's what it bonds to. Look along each post for a chalky film, hairline crazing, a corner that has started to lift, or a thick wax layer, and put those right first. Then wash, dry, and wipe with rubbing alcohol until a fresh lint-free cloth comes back clean.
Gather car soap, a bucket, rubbing alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil. A helper is useful for judging alignment from a step back.
Choose a dry, calm day out of direct sun. Unpack the four covers and check each against the photos; call if any is bent or missing. Hold each 5 Series cover against the photos. Offer each to its post with the backing still on, nudge it until the edges look even, and outline it with painter's tape. Peel, settle the cover into the outline, and press firmly along its length and both edges. Fit the next cover straight away so they match.
If a cover refuses to lie flat, keep its backing on and phone 877-752-3811. After the cure, wash with car soap and dry with a soft towel. Plan on an unhurried session.

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.
