Hi Guy's,
I've just bought an E70 but don't want the side step. Can it be changed to the sill cover instead?
Thanks,

You may wish to ask in the e70 forum, as I've not got a clue about them, thus linger here in the e53!

My bad. I thought this was the e70 but just noticed it's the e53 forum.
Thanks

Have a look at Realoem with the last 7 of your VIN to get the part numbers.  I think the answer is almost certainly yes you can (applies to E53 and E70).

This may help, but in reverse order

Top fella Horizon!
That is exactly what I was after (in reverse)
Many thanks

Hope this is not seen as hijacking the thread,but its side step related on a E53 X5,mine is a Le-Mans version on a 56 plate,i am not removing mine as i personally like them but the problem that i have is these are factory fitted step made of alloy i think and have these i also think rubber anti-slip buttons on the top of the side step but i have noticed that one of these rubber button things on each side of the car they are missing,would it be fair to assume that these are just pushed into the side step ?? then this leads on to my last question can you buy these rubber button things or what they are called individually or a pack or say 100 so that one can replace them again.

you can get the rubber buttons on ebay or someone said the dealer sold them even cheaper . one mad man wanted £8 and post for one on Ebay !!!    )  there is a bmw shop on ebay where they are £1,60 each link below
