Protective pillar film GrizzGlass BodyShield for BMW 5 Series E61 Touring LCI (2007–2010) black [10w1]

GrizzGlass BodyShield black pillar film is made to protect the door pillars of BMW 5 Series E61 Touring LCI (2007–2010). The kit marked [10w1] contains pre-cut pieces that conform to the pillar shapes, offering a low-profile, dark finish that preserves original paint while shielding high-contact areas from scratches, stone chips and everyday wear. The film is suitable for both DIY enthusiasts and professional fitters and is designed to remain discreet after application.

Advantages

The film provides a durable, abrasion-resistant surface that reduces visible damage to painted pillars without altering the vehicle's contours. Its black, low-gloss appearance integrates with the car’s exterior and helps hide minor marks. The material is flexible to accommodate compound pillar shapes and is intended for long-term adhesion without lifting when applied according to instructions. Removal is possible with minimal impact on the underlying paint when performed correctly by heat and slow peeling.

How to use

Ensure pillars are clean, dry and free of grease or wax before application. Test-fit the pre-cut pieces on the pillars to confirm correct placement. Remove the backing and apply the film beginning at one edge, smoothing outward to avoid air bubbles; use a soft squeegee and moderate pressure. For compound curves or recessed areas heat may be applied gradually with a heat gun or hair dryer to improve conformability. Trim any excess if necessary and allow the adhesive to set for the time recommended by the film manufacturer before exposing the car to moisture or high-pressure washing.

Usage recommendations

For best results, perform installation in a clean, shaded environment at moderate temperatures. When removing the film, apply heat and peel slowly at a low angle to minimize stress on the original paint. If unsure about the fit or removal, consult a professional installer.
