I suppose you could always retrofit one off a junkyard X5, but I'm guessing the 4.8iS has the steel plate for a reason. Man, that must be a PITA to put back on after taking it off. How much does it weigh?

When laying on your back and using one hand to tighten the nut while holding the bolt from turning, I think it weighed in just under WTF@%!!
The factory says 13.4 LBS VS 7 LBS for the aluminum one
