The Running Boards are love/hate relationship personally. I Love them, the husband and everyone who gets into the X5 hate them. If you drive the X5 with the boards for more than 37 minutes you quickly remember that they're there and then you realize you need to alter your ingress/egress process/procedure and actually use the running boards rather than not and you will never have a problem. The day I bought the X5 3-ish years ago Ive been fine.

My kids are 4, and coming from a 4Runner w/ boards, so they are both very independent and enjoy the climb in. Day 1 with the X5 they were looking for a proper step and ended up just stepping up on the molding.

I like the look and my kids prefer them, so I'll be doing them. All the literal fancy-pants owners may have other priorities.

I just bought this one today:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/111497500153

Picked it up in queens. Installed it. Not too bad. If you know how to screw, unscrew, push, pull, then you can DIY.

It's been two months, I still haven't have a chance to install the running board, been super busy at the shop, but I decided to get the flares too since I'm planning to get some 20" wheels and new suspension setup next summer. Once I got them all installed, will update with pictures for sure.

I didn't get them from this seller, but I'm sure they are coming from the same manufacture/company in Taiwan.
