Brushed Alu running boards w/Titanium Silver
 
Anyone done this and got pics. Did it on my 03 4.4i Sport which was a rare special order Lemans and it really set off the wheels.

Not so sure on a Titanium Silver X ?

Thanks

David

I am in lust !

That is hands down one of the cleanest and sharpest looking vehicles I have seen. I typically don't like aftermarket rims but they just look right.

Thanks

Thanks David, really appreciate the kind words. I was kind of nervous about the 20 inch after market rims but in the end I am truly happy with the way they look and drive. Brush boards are a must get in my opinion.

I have a shopping list of cosmetic items to address and I really want to get Euro clears. Not sure to get that done on an 06. I am also toying with the idea of Black grille inserts as I have Titanium.

On the less sexy side is the factory hitch kit so I can carry the bikes out back where they belong and not up top. Part of this would be to add the rear fog lamps as I believe they are a major contribution to safety. I need the light module that comes with the hitch kit switch but I have the new light switch already.

Mind you, a new OEM alternator 500 miles ago ate significantly into my mod budget. :rolleyes:

If you do get Euro Clears please send me some pics, would love to see. Funny because I was thinking about getting titanium grills for the top and front of the hood. We should trade, lol

I thought about getting the hitch myself but didn't feel like shelling out the money for it so i opted for the bike rack that you place on the back and take off. I paid about $40 dollars for it and it holds three bikes.

I'm on the same path with mods, right now trying to find a OEM trailer hitch is tough. The Titanium grill is also tough to track down. Want the aluminum running boards, but they are pricey

Morristown BMW in NJ have the running boards at $699 on eBay right now.

I have found the hitch but am baulking at the price of over $800 with tax.
