Couldn't load pickup availability
Overview
The original BMW E36 Sedan A-pillar trims are known to crack, warp, fade, or lose their fabric after decades of UV and heat exposure. This replacement set is built specifically for E36 Sedan models and restores the clean OEM look with modern materials that will not crumble or deform.
Each pillar is 3D scanned for accuracy, refined through multiple test batches, and molded using heat-resistant Polycarbonate Carbon Fiber composite. Available in raw, suede-wrapped, or real carbon fiber overlay, it installs cleanly with factory clips and maintains the original interior profile.
