M Sport and running boards?

[vbX]

Would you put OEM running boards on 2011 X5 with M-sport pkg?

I'm thinking of ordering X5 35i with M pack and I'm sure that the running boards in place of the original rocker panels would solve the stone chips problem reported by many M pack owners.

The dealer wants 8 hours of labor for the demonstration that would involve installing and removing the boards using a demo X5…. Has anyone done it or seen an M pack with the running boards? Does it look good? I found a couple pics but the picture quality is poor and it's difficult to tell what the black plastic looks like against painted wheel arches…. What do you think?
