New bimmer guy 17 sdrive x5

[Varder_f15]

Hey everyone, new to the bmw world but already love my f15!
But I do have a few odd questions

1. Can I remove the running boards and replace them with side skirts like the m models?
2. Can I lower the bmw without getting coil overs? I was told no by my shop.
Thank you for the answers

why you want to remove the running boards?

1) Yes, just get the M Sport ones
2) Depends on what suspension package you have

These are the parts for the sill set-ups for the regular sills, the pure excellence & pure experience sills, the M sport pkg (S715A M Aerodynamics package). Its not just the running board you'd need to replace for the M aerodynamics pkg...it also has the extended wheel arches. If you click the following link to the part database...you'll see that there are multiple part nbrs for many of the items in the illustration that covers the differences in option pkgs etc: https://bimmercat.com/bmw/en/search/...5i/USA/51_9438


These are the parts if you have the running boards:https://bimmercat.com/bmw/en/search/...5i/USA/51_9442
