Compatibility with other chassis'

These pillar parts are compatible across the BMW E46 coupe variants—such as 323Ci, 325Ci, 328Ci, 330Ci, and M3—from roughly 1999 to 2006. The complete kit (KT / KT1) spans all A-, B-, and C-pillar covers for pre-facelift coupe models through 2001. No evidence suggests crossover compatibility with sedan or touring—those use different B-pillar components.

Custom Alcantara, Forged Carbon Fiber, Carbon Fiber, Nappa Leather

At Baesic Builds, we offer custom upholstery options to elevate your interior: Alcantara, forged carbon fiber, classic carbon fiber, or buttery Nappa leather—crafted to OEM fitment standards. Each cover is a precision-made, direct-swap replacement: just peel off the old, clip in the new. Zero cutting, zero guesswork.

Installation tools needed

• Plastic trim-panel removal tool
• T15 or T20 Torx driver (depending on clip fasteners)
• Optional: a soft rag to protect surfaces during install

OEM+ parts, Direct swap of OEM parts

These are OEM-direct replacements—or as close to OEM+ as you can get with enhanced styling options. They fit and function just like your factory originals, but with that bespoke, performance-interior twist.
