I know that the running boards are a factory option now.... but i'm wondering... if I don't order them now... and I decide i want them later after I have the car for awhile.... can i have the dealer install them? would it be the same ones and how much might that cost?

thanks.

I heard it's $600 + labor....

Because without running board, you have a black plastic thing that also should cost something....

I guess the price difference between the running board and that plastic thing is $300, and in the factory, installing either takes the same labor, so that's why it's only $300 when ordered...

Correct me if someone else has better info...

Sorry, guys, maybe it will be stupid - what does it mean "running boards"?

I'd get them now. You can pm BMW Morristown and they'll give you a good price but you still have the labor to consider unless you're a DIY guy.
