Product Description
PP18941: Six-Piece Stainless Pillar Trim for the 2018-2024 BMW X3
Six polished 304 stainless covers for the pillars of the 2018-2024 BMW X3 4-door SUV: that's PP18941, priced at $95.49. It's the middle of three linked X3 sets, between the four-piece PP18940 and the eight-piece PP18942.
Is it right for my X3? The listing has one fitment row: BMW X3, 2018-2024, 4-door, SUV. If your X3's model year is outside that range, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with PP18941 before buying.
Where do the six covers go? The listing doesn't say. None of the three X3 sets name their pillars, list a width or carry a note, so only the piece count separates them on paper. The photos are the best guide. Look at the six shapes in this gallery, then compare with the four-piece and eight-piece galleries and note which outlines differ. Finally, compare the shapes with your own X3. If a piece doesn't obviously match a panel, ask before ordering.
Why the middle set? If four covers looks like too little and eight more than you want, six is the in-between choice. That's a decision you make from the photos, not from the counts alone.
Can I buy two sets? We'd advise against it. Pick one X3 listing after a look at the galleries. X3 pillar prep is laid out under Installation.
What are they made of? 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished and made in the USA. The bright face is the steel itself, so there's no plating to wear through.
How do they attach? With 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface. You won't drill the X3 or take off any of its trim.
What do I need? Mild car soap, a sponge and bucket, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil. A second person helps with checking lines.
What does the Installation tab cover? The tape's working temperature and cure time. Read it before you start; those rules come first.
How does the job go? On a dry day in the shade, count the six covers and compare each with the photos, calling if anything's bent or missing. Wash the pillar faces, rinse and dry. Wipe them with isopropyl alcohol and let it flash off, removing wax or ceramic coating where tape will sit. Set out the six X3 covers in the order the photos give. With liners still on, hold each one in place, line up its edges and mark them with painter's tape, then pencil its position on the liner. Fit them one by one: peel, place, and press firmly along the full length and both edges. Step back after every second cover so the covers match. All six are stainless steel.
What if one won't sit flat? Leave its liner on and call 877-752-3811 rather than forcing it.
How do I care for it? After the cure time, ordinary car soap and a soft towel. The listing says the steel leaves the shop polished to a mirror shine.

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.
