tubular step bars

was thinking about the OEM style aluminum running boards but they aren't functional. Does anyone have the tubular stainless steel style? Pics? Was thinking they might complement a undermount bull bar as well.

Anyone seen cheaper anywhere?

Weasel will become famous soon enough
It would effectively make the X5 look more like an american suv... just add some knobby tires and a winch bumper w/grille guard and 4 KC lights across it and you would be set!

I'm not a fan of the bull bars, either.

Was also looking at something like these... The eBay picture doesn't look great, but I thought these pics looked good myself. What do you guys think?

I guess if you actually need that much of a step up I can't be mad at you.
