Thanks! I just completed the installation of the running boards on my 2009 E70 X5 - what a joke. I can't believe that BMW would charge $1,200 here in Canada for something that took me 1 hour with two guys - in my driveway! The only challenge is that the front clips are a little tight to release from under the fender(s).

Be aware as the OEM front mudguards do not work with the running boards. Surprised BMW does not include the 4 clips/plugs for the back wheel wells?

Thanks very much for the PDF instructions which made it really easy!
