OK so I got the X5 replica running boards
 

You guys are probably going to throw stones at me but yes, I got the replicas. :nanana: I didn't really want running boards. Just wanted to enhance the looks. These were half the price of the OEM version. As some of you know, they bolt directly on top of the X's original running boards, if you can call them that. Total installation time... 30 minutes. The brushed aluminum is thick and of pretty good quality. I like the nice touch of the "X5" engraved into the aluminum (see pic below). My BMW service advisor saw them and didn't even realize they were replicas. He said "Hey you put the R/B's on your X5. Those were a pain to install huh?" I said "Hmmm... yeah" ;)

Pretty noice.

I like 'em - how much and where did you get them??

pretty nice especially if you dont care about the RB use, are those extended? from the pics they dont look like they are

They look nice. Best part, no worries about black and blues on my left calf because my running boards stick out so much further. I wish I would have known about these.

L yours really give you trouble? they make it easier to get in the truck if you ask me not that i have problems. but these are def very nice and for 30 min install hell i would've done this too lol plus the X5 tag is prety shweet too

They took some getting used to. Doesn't happen too much anymore but when I first got them I was always hitting my leg getting in and out.

EZDOZZIT: Those things are bangin'! Now, where and how much?

Where did you get those?

Nice ! where did u get those indeed !! 30-minute install sounds reeeeally appealing...
