Part number posted in this thread is an OE BMW part number?

Read my post number 8, in case you missed it.

Posting a part number does not mean anything at all. Search it. You will see that multiple people, who are not dealers, are selling the same shit, at the same exact price.

Craigs Add. Clearly states OEM, which is weird, because they are clearly OE, as I picked them up from his dealership. Made in USA by the way.

I'm gonna call this place and see what's up. If they are the real deal, then I'm guessing he has a dealer connection.

This part of the auction ad made me chuckle a little:
Quote:
- Direct Bolt-On
- 100% Brand New
- Hardware Included
- Installation Instruction Not Included
- Guaranteed to fit like original equipment
- Package Include: One Pair of Aluminum Running Board
Probably some cheap Chinese knockoff of the original, reverse engineered from the real thing. Amazing that anyone would go to the trouble for something like that, with such a small market.

FYI - Factory retrofit kit does NOT come with instructions either.

No worry, I have PDF instruction from BMW. I emailed a few buyers asking for their feedback on the quality and fitment, awaiting answer.
The seller did have some good feedback from Cayene and MB owners though.
