Suburban Side Steps Running Boards for BMW X5 F15 14-17 (exc. M Sport Models)
The Direct4x4 aftermarket side step and running board range offers incredible style and quality at a very affordable price. Made from premium materials throughout, these side steps are designed to be convenient and practical whilst adding an extra touch of luxury to your pride and joy. Due to the contours of the vehicle these do not follow the line of the sill and will leave a gap. Package includes 2 steps and all the brackets, bolts and fixings necessary for your specific vehicle. Very easy to fit, clean and maintain. The brackets install conveniently to existing bolt holes in your vehicle's chassis.
Fitting takes just a couple of hours. Protects your car from damage caused by dirt and asphalt thrown up by your tires as well other car doors in tight car parking spaces. Provides a sturdy platform structure.
The boards are 28mm (1.10 inches) thick and are 130mm (5.12 inches) wide with an actual step width of 120mm (4.72 inches). The heavy-duty Q235A grade steel brackets have undergone a 2-stage powder coating process for longer life. Multiple raised footplates along the step to withstand football boots, wellingtons and walking shoes in all weather conditions. The tall contoured side wall of the step is made from high-grade stainless steel and has a bright, hand-polished mirror finish.
Some vehicles may have plastic undertray shields covering the side step bolt holes. These will need to be removed before fitting the steps and before re-fitting will need to be trimmed around the bolt locations using a dia cutter or something similar.
Please DO NOT use car cleaning products which contain TFR (Traffic Film Remover) chemicals on metallic products as it can cause corrosion. We strongly advise examining any bolts, brackets or fixings 7 days after original installation to ensure that they are tight and secure. For your safety, we recommend inspecting all fixtures every 3-6 months. For the majority of our side steps/bars, no chassis drilling will be required. Undertray shields will need to be removed before fitting and trimmed around the bolt locations using a dia cutter or something similar.
Ensure you have received all necessary components; if there's anything missing let us know right away. For safety, check all bolts/brackets 7 days after installation and inspect all fixtures every 3 months.
