Eight covers is the larger of the two X5 pillar sets linked in this catalog; the other, PP25950, has four. That's the whole choice, since no six-piece X5 set is linked. Neither page names its pillars or gives a width, so the way to decide is visual. Put the two galleries side by side, look hard at each outline, and picture it on your X5. If you want polished steel everywhere this set's photos show, eight is right. If the four-piece set already matches what you have in mind, it's less work and costs less. Order one of the two.
Before ordering, confirm the year falls within 2000-2006 by checking your records. For any doubt about fit, call Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 with PP25951 to hand.
These covers are a cosmetic finish for the posts between the side windows; nothing structural changes. Because 304 stainless resists corrosion without a plated layer, there's no coating to peel and nothing different under a scratch. Mild soap and water keep it bright.
The covers stick on with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, laid directly over the existing surface of each X5 post. Nothing is drilled and no BMW trim has to be prised off. Check the temperature range and cure time on the Installation tab before you pick a day.
Eight posts on a 2000-2006 X5 means eight surfaces of uncertain age. A cloudy, powdery look, hairline cracking, a corner that has begun to lift, or a slick film of wax will each weaken the bond, so sort those out before peeling anything. Wash, let the posts dry right through, then wipe with rubbing alcohol until a fresh lint-free cloth shows nothing. A step stool helps if the upper edges are hard to see from the ground.
Gather car soap, rubbing alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil to number each outline.
Work on a calm, dry day in the shade. Unwrap all eight covers onto a towel and hold each against its gallery photo; if one is bent or missing, phone before you start. Decide the order for the eight X5 covers and set them out that way. Offer every cover to its post with the backing on, ease it into line, and frame it with painter's tape, writing its number on the tape. Only when all eight frames are marked should a backing come off. Then work two at a time, pressing each cover firmly along its length and both edges, comparing after every two.
A cover that won't sit down flat keeps its backing while you call 877-752-3811.
Eight pieces make for a longer session than the four-piece set, so start early. Before buying, find a post for each of the eight shapes in this gallery while standing beside your X5, and call first if any leaves you guessing.

Installation tips: Pillar Post Trim
- Unpack all 8 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.
