Thank you! now this can be purchased individually right? the flare obviously

[mam4.6]

Are you needing the whole flare, or only the extension on the flare?

[NatGomes]

Just need the extension.. But placed an order with local dealer to get the entire thing! Is there an alternative?

Don't know. I just placed an order for a front set since mine didn't come with them, but I wanted to upgrade. Maybe somebody else knows? RB?

If they are referring to the vehicle RB could mean running board since they require different flares than X5s without. If not referring to the vehicle then it must be a member on the board.

There are some threads in the e70 forum with pics and step by step on how to do this. Likely the same for e53, but different part numbers of course.
