I had the replica bolt on on my 2001 X5. Once they are there you won't want to take them off because you put a lot of holes into the plastic on the car. They were sturdy and usable tho. I liked how the ones I had looked however; but disappointed by quality; the rubber dots on them started to come out from continued usage (i.e. a passenger getting in and out of the car. That sucked and since they are made in another country forget getting those pieces for replacement. I tried and couldn't.

This time around I've decided I want the OEM running boards. Just faint at the price.
