I can only assume that the X5M has more curves and the body moves further toward the middle of the vehicle in front of the rear tires vs. the E53 as it was a "squarer" vehicle.

Plus, the E53 4.6is has plastic on the lower body panels vs. the X5M. This, plus running boards, would help keep it wider overall, which in turn will keep debris off it
You would be correct on the curves..

They should have never painted the bottom of the running boards at least
