Aluminum running board / side step from eBay
Has anyone purchased and installed the aluminum running board / side step that looks like the genuine BMW kit from eBay? Was wondering how the fitment and quality is compared to the genuine BMW kit?

Wow...that is pretty expensive for an "OE-style" (non-OE) board. FWIW, I paid a bit less than that almost 8 years ago for the OE board.

I think MANGO was looking at that exact set previously. I'm not sure if he actually went through with it though. Maybe PM him and ask.

At least, its not one of those lame sets that are just pieces of aluminum bolted to the existing plastic trim.
