My new running boards
I just returned from the dealership after an oil change and having running boards installed.

I bought the SAV in July with 20,500 miles. I have managed to add a couple more thousand since then. I just love driving this vehicle.

Absolutely do not mind.

I shopped around to get a sense of the price range I should expect. All from BMW dealerships. I paid $1422.10, which was at the upper end of the range, but not the most expensive. For those in Southern California, I got quotes from Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, New Century, and Center (I never heard back from Pacific). Since, I bought the car at Center, I went with them.

The price of the parts were all identical $792. The labor ranged from $550-$725. I am sure I could have done better. But, convenience was also a consideration.

As an aside, they were out of BMW loaners so they sent me to Enterprise. I had a choice of a number of cars and thought I try a new Prius. An interesting vehicle. Not my cup of tea. And, I forgot about the odd (or distinctive) odor of Toyota interiors. I suppose owners get used to it.

Nice one, finishes off your/our X5's just fine. Sort of gives them definition with contrasting colour (silver) down the sides. Not to mention the fact that they're functional.
