Product Description
Six Stainless Pillar Covers for the 1989-1995 BMW 5 Series Sedan (PP89929)
PP89929 is the larger of QAA's two pillar kits for the BMW 5 Series sedan. Six mirror-polished covers of 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, are listed for the 4-door 5 Series in model years 1989 through 1995.
Compared with the four-piece kit
The smaller option is PP89928 with four pieces. Both have the same fitment; check the other listing for its finish. QAA's data has no coverage note for either, which means the catalog does not say which posts the six covers here dress or where the two further pieces go. The photos are the best way to see the difference before choosing.
For a more finished window line
Six covers put more bright metal around the glass than four. On a restoration or a well-kept older sedan, that can make the side profile look deliberately detailed rather than lightly accented.
What it's made of
- 304 stainless steel, 26 gauge
- 5 Series covers: mirror polish, no plating
- American-made for the 5 Series
- UPC 691821448715
Attaching
Each cover mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. The kit installs over the existing surface, so the original pillars stay untouched. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the vehicle surface.
Paint first
The tape bonds only as well as the paint under it. After three decades, clean off any layers of wax or sealant on the pillars. Wash, dry, and wipe each one with a wax-free cleaner, and look for chalky or lifting paint where a cover will sit. Repair any weak spots before installing.
Six-piece install
On a dry, mild day, lay the six BMW covers on a towel in photo order. Dry-fit each one against the photos with the liner still attached. When a cover sits right, peel and press firmly from one end to the other. Fit a few pieces, step back and check, then set the rest to match. Leave the car unwashed for a few days. The Installation tab has full instructions.
Body style
Listed for the 4-door sedan only. If your 5 Series is a different body style, call before ordering. The Fitment tab shows the record.
Model years
1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, and 1995.
Care
Rinse before wiping, wash with mild soap, and dry with microfiber. Skip abrasives on the mirror finish.
Why solid stainless
The polish is in the metal itself, so there is no coating to wear off. All six covers share the same finish.
Before ordering
Confirm the model year from your title or registration. Each kit is complete on its own; if six is what you want, order it rather than planning to build up from the four-piece set.
Handling
Keep the polished faces on a soft towel while you work, and avoid touching the adhesive once a liner comes off. A helper standing back from the car can confirm each cover is square before you press it.

Installation tips: Pillar Post Trim
- Unpack all 6 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.
