Yep.
BMW sells two different sets of those lighted door sills.
The one is for the two front doors only, the other one is for all four doors!
I've got it for all four doors. [/quote]
Thanks... I'll dig through EPC again.

BTW: The Z4 ones are the same color as the E60 ones...

Well,

If it took the dealer 1 hour per door to do them, I am thinking I better not attempt to do them myself. It took me 45min to do the rear console trip piece (yeah, I know... but I was real carefull) so it would take me days to do the sills. I will ask the dealer how much for the entire thing installed.

Thanks for the help guys.

Aaron,

This whole IT thing is overblown. Perhaps I could sell Crack or something. Just kidding.

Ha Ha. Things could get tight. I may have to move to 89 octane and wash the car myself.

So, according to your sig, you really only need to cut back on buying things for it that it doesn't need!

Sorry to hear the news jk, hope things work out for you real soon!

Those door sills are pretty pricey, you guys think they are worth it?

If your looking into it just for looks, maybe invest in some sport mirrors instead.

I love the understatement on a car. So that's why I'm not adding spoilers, M-mirrors or larger wheels, because that's seen on the outside. But that's just speaking for my car, I do like it on other cars. But that's why I only did those little things what can't be seen on the outside, and that's why mine is debadged.
