The exclusion is the line to settle before anything else. The listing states plainly that this set doesn't fit the LI model of the 7 Series, and gives no further detail. Check the 7 Series badge on your car. If it reads LI, this isn't your set. If you can't be certain, phone Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 with PP25918 to hand and ask before you order.
With that cleared, the decision is four covers or six. Neither 7 Series listing names its pillars or gives a width, so the galleries are the only comparison. View them together and try to place each shape on your car. Six pieces suit you if you want everything those photos show in polished steel; the four-piece set is less work and costs noticeably less. Six covers for the 7 Series; the gallery shows where, and 877-752-3811 can confirm.
The covers are cosmetic. They lay a bright face over the posts between the side windows and change nothing structural. Grade 304 resists corrosion without plating, so there's no coating to chip and nothing different underneath. Mild soap and water keep it bright.
The 7 Series covers go onto the BMW's pillars as they are, held by 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape; no holes, no panels taken off. Read the Installation tab's temperature range and cure time first.
Because the tape holds onto whatever finish is on the posts now, inspect each one. Chalky residue, crazing, a lifting edge or a build-up of wax all need sorting out first. Then wash, dry, and wipe with rubbing alcohol until a clean lint-free cloth stays clean.
Have ready: car soap, a bucket, rubbing alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape, a pencil, and ideally a helper.
Pick a dry, still day out of the sun. Unpack all six, check each against the photos and call if one is bent or missing. Set the six 7 Series covers out as the images show. Offer each up with its backing on, ease it into line and outline it with painter's tape, marking every position before peeling anything. Then fit two at a time: peel, settle inside the outline, press firmly along the length and both edges.
If one of the BMW's six covers won't lie flat, keep its backing on and phone 877-752-3811. When cured, car soap and a soft towel keep them clean.
Expect an unhurried session, most of it spent cleaning and marking; the covers themselves press on quickly once their outlines are in place.
Before ordering, go out to the car with the gallery open on your phone. Place each of the six shapes on a post you can see, feel the finish on each post for anything that needs repair, and read the model badge one more time. If any shape has no obvious home, or the badge leaves you unsure, call first.

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.
