If X6 ones will fit then you can buy my old set (1 week old, swapped for performance ones)

Hi you will also need different arches that fit into the sills, not sure if the sills have strengthening pieces. If you have a look I think its the real OEM website will show the parts required.

Best bet for sills may be breakers as I know BMW still sell them but at BMW prices. So probably worth pricing it up first to retro fit. May be worth putting a wanted in buy & sell section

I have the standard e53 facelift arches both front & rear that join into the sills for sale in the buy & sell section.
