RFaber, I might be interested in your no-running-board parts. My X5 is an 02/2004 so it's a facelift and I wonder if the parts are the same? Yours being a sport package are the skirts gloss black? I'll try to check into it a bit and maybe PM you if it looks like it will work. Maybe start a new thread and tell us about your subwoofer install, I was just thinking of doing that myself as well! Cheers

I was looking for a tool like this and it delayed my install by a day. I was telling my buddy who owns a shop that I was looking for the tool and he says..

Yeah. We have one of those. We call it pliers.

20 mins later, my rivets were installed and I was going for a drive. All you need to do is push the trim toward the body around the rivet while holding the plastic pin with the pliers. when it 'catches' on the indents, just twist or pull the plastic tip and it'll break very easily. Voila. Riveting!
