OEM has more standing room. If that is your main focus then OEM might be better if that is ur primary reason for buying and u dont mind the price higher. these boards are about the same size as the current running boards (if u can call them that - the black part) - just add a little style to it. I believe in the other thread someome mentions that the OE boards are wider. I've also read that the OE boards come out as far as your mirrors when they are folded (folding mirror thread somewhere). so probably a few inches more on OE

Whichever ones I end up getting I'm going to be standing on them while they're covered in snow to access the roof rack and it would be great to see how much more standing surface the OEM boards provide, now that we know both versions can support one's body weight.

Thanks!

Not for E70 yet

For the E70 owners that have been following this thread, the "Bavarian Motorwerks" seller on eBay says they do not have the E70 version yet but do plan to manufacture it.
