Thanks guys/gals for the comments. I plan to go to BMW of San Antonio Friday and talk to them. I agree for $60K car...the running boards should be able to withstand soap, etc.
Someone else pointed out that coating could be an issue

They should fix it for goodwill sake. An auto that can not go through a car wash because the running boards will discolor seems far fetched.
I do not know who makes this part for them but it seems to have some issues. I hand wash and then use a leaf bower to blow them off as well as the wheels. Then again I have treated each rubber spot with trim treatment on a Q tip so take that into consideration. But they still look fine.

I have the 'exact' same stains on my X5 running boards after I ran my car through an automated 'hand' car wash (SPLASH) this past weekend. (This is the first time I took the car to a car wash since I bought it - about 2 months ago.) I am going to raise the issue with my dealer too. I tried to remove the discoloration by using a paste cleaner/wax that is made for aluminum - the stains mellowed a bit but still show. Let me know how you make out with your dealer. Thx.

Just had new ones fitted here in the UK. Same type of marking.
BMW replaced them, but did`nt really want to,` because they all do that!`.
