A- Pillars - What grade of steel do they use?

Hi guys,

Does anyone know what grade of steels do BMW used to make their A-Pillars for 2011 5 series cars? Is it any different from 2010?

I found on a site that they use UHSS, HC1000w but I have no clue what grade of steel it is? Is it alloyed with carbon, boron, or Al?

Any help is good.

Thank you

I have no idea, but, purely out of engineering interest, I'm very curious as to why you want to know.
