[QUOTE=Naz24;721699]First of all, Welcome!


.................................................. .......As for running boards, do not, i repeat, do not buy those cheesy ones from ebay. If you do take the ebay route, make sure that they are OEM running boards and not from a different manufacturer. The "look-a-likes" look like garbage........................................... ..

Naz is spot on with that call. Try the Search option and look up "Ekval, running boards", he is a forum member in far off Norway with a very nice black X. Man, he went through a rough deal with his after market side steps/running boards.

Good luck and oh yeah, welcome.

OK - we've let this dude slide long enough. We want pics of the X and your M3 or you are banned from this place. :popcorn:

Congratulations on your new ride, and like others have said, post up some pictures!

Welcome to the board ... I sold my X but I am still here :D
Such a great forum!

As requested, a few pics of the M and the X. God forbid I get "banned" before I even get started here... ;)
Bailey enjoys riding in the X a bit more. And there's less clean up for me. :thumbup:
I don't have any great pics of the X yet but this will have to do. I'm trying to imagine what she'll look like with 20's on. The current wheels aren't bad but I want to fill out the rear flares a bit more.

The old, the new and the exchange...

both are nice looking rides!! phew - now you can stay!! :bustingup

Haha me too! She drove the M3 for the past two days and I did an awesome 400 mile round trip from North Jersey to Maryland and just got home. The X5 was perfect for my drive in the POURING rain yesterday and was packed to the gills with work stuff. Love the X5, although getting back in the M3 tomorrow will remind me why I'm so fortunate to have both.

Here's a quick shot of my dream-driveway (ok the driveway sucks but my cars oh the cars!!!). We bought them both as low mile CPO cars and couldn't be happier. I feel so fortunate to own these wonderful automobiles, enjoy yours! :thumbup:

Bro, that's a nice lignup! I wish I could have kept the M but I'm happy with the X now. I'm loving the extra space in the ride.

Yea, you'll enjoy it in the snow, pouring rain and dirt too!

Congrats man!
