$1100 something for running boards and flared arches. If you are not getting flared arches you can get away with $550 or so.

Hey LeMans, sorry I had to dig up this thread because I have a question on the aluminum rbs. I have a 4.8 like you and want mine to look exactly the same, fender flares on front and rear.

I looked at the realoem link. Do I need to order every part separately? Or is there like a kit part #? And as for the flares, which ones come in the kit, and therefore will I have to order the flares separately, both front and rear? Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Yes, you will have to order all the quoted flares part #s separetely. The ones which come with running boards are without any flares. Wish they had separete kit for 4.8. If you are in NJ, you can get from PaulmillerBMW for 25% discount. I ordered over phone and told them that I have the 25% coupon from Bimmer magazine. If you still need coupon let me know.
