I’m thinking of taking them off and offer for sale. I imagine I will need to order the normal bottoms trim piece, unless someone wants to buy and include giving us their bottom trim pieces. I haven’t investigated but I imagine there are several screws or small bolts used for attachment.
We also found the X5 running boards to simply be ornamental and very not functional. They are too narrow to be practical and too high for the average adult thereby making it more difficult to get into/out off the car than not having any at all. You have to then step over them to get in/out
