Has anyone installed or have seen these aluminum boards? They seem ok and for a fraction of the price of OEM's but I'm concerned with quality.

buy cheap, you get cheap. save up for the oem boards and you will be much happier. youll have to buy new fender flares for this upgrade but thats a great reason to get the extended flare kit.

Here we go again. Many members here have thought of purchasing these, but really they will look like ass. You need to find other pics of these to see how bad they really look and how off they are from the originals.

Oh gawd please don't do this to your X5. First it's faux running boards and then, before you know it, the fuzzy dice appear!

Only friends tell friends the truth!

Save your pennies and get the real deal!

As I suspected.... thanks guys! I will start saving some $$$ to get the real OEM ones....

How much does the OEM's go for? Never really looked into it.

Never mind...I found my answer. wow.

those are not really running boards. they are more like stick on of the existing boards. btw u dont have to buy new fender flares with the oem running boards. they come with them.
