Product Description
Six Polished Pillar Post Covers for the 1995-2001 BMW 7 Series (PP95918)
PP95918 is the larger of the two pillar kits QAA catalogs for the BMW 7 Series 4-door sedan built for model years 1995 to 2001. It contains six covers in mirror-polished 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, and it attaches with 3M tape over the paint already on the car.
Why owners pick the six-piece set
More pieces generally means more of the window surround picks up the bright finish. On a long sedan with a lot of door frame to work with, some owners want the fullest look available, and this is the bigger of QAA's two options. The four-piece alternative is PP95917.
What the data does and does not say
Neither BMW kit has a coverage note in the catalog. That means the listing does not state which pillars the six covers wrap or what the two further pieces are compared with the smaller kit. We would rather tell you that plainly. Study the product photos, and if you still are not sure, call and ask.

Model years covered
1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2001, all on the 4-door sedan body. No other model or body style appears on this record.
About the steel
The mirror look is polished into the stainless itself. There is no thin plating on top, so nothing can flake away from the edges, and all six pieces keep the same color as one another.
About the adhesive
Each cover mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the vehicle surface. There is no trim to unbolt.
Six covers, step by step
- Wash and dry the pillars, then wipe away old wax.
- Repair any loose or flaking paint first.
- Match the covers to the BMW pillars using the photos.
- Test each one in position with the liner on.
- Peel, align, and press firmly along the whole length.
- Fit and inspect one cover at a time.
- Give the tape a few days to settle before the BMW is washed.
The Installation tab holds the complete walkthrough.
Patience pays
The tape grabs hard once pressed, so the dry-fit is where alignment is decided. Take your time with the first cover and use the door edge and glass corner as guides; the rest follow its lead.
Living with it
Wash by hand with mild soap and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasives on the mirror finish. Since the original pillars remain in place beneath the covers, nothing about the car itself is altered, which matters if you want to keep an older 7 Series as original as you can.

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.
