Fitting side steps to a Sport?

Post by Paddy1001 » Tue Sep 09, 2014 10:53 pm

Hi all,

Is it possible to fit side steps to a 2008 e70 m sport? For some strange reason I think that they can only be fitted to the se but I hope I am wrong, any ideas or links to a set that are good quality and do fit the sport?

Cheers,

Paddy

[/quote]They can be fitted but on the SE the end of the side step meet the rear arch, as the m sport has slightly wider arches you do notice this but its not that obvious.

Do you really want them though.

Any demo I had with them I just found to be a PITA and get your clothes dirty
