I pretty much agree though. I think it just completes the look.

The aluminum running boards get your pants dirty....the only function they serve. I have a deal for a set of rockers like yours if it falls through I would trade you straight across. The wife and I both hate the running boards.

Does anyone have the eBay versions that run ~ 350 shipped, if so comments? What makes the OEM ones worth nearly twice the price?

to be honest other than looks the running boards are useless imo. had them put on my last x5 and didnt like that it made it harder to get in and out. It looks fine w/o it

I think it's a good idea to put the running board if you have the sport package cause the tires are wider and will chip the paint. I didn't have them on mine when i bought it, chip the paint so decided to buy the running board at the dealer for $450 and it was easy to install. Running board are cheap compared to a paint job
