Not sure the value other than cosmetic to these. Truck isnt that high where they help getting into it and the cost is ridiculous not to mention install effort, factory instructions estimate 2 hours for install. Somehow I think thats optimistic after looking through all the steps they note.

I agree with Optimus. The 01 x5 I just bought has them and I don't care for them. I step to the ground when getting out and the back of my pants rubs against the running boards. Not a big deal in the summer, but messy in the winter. I would be willing to take them off and re-sell to someone on the forums.

Rev engineer if you are within a couple hours drive from Jersey I'll trade with you.

Edit nvm you're in MN, if you're coming to Bimmerfest or coming to Jersey anytime let me know!

Rev,
You wanna dump those running boards let me know. I have no idea what shipping would be like, but I would be a candidate.
