That's true only SUVs have running boards (which i didn't knew what it was and i had to google it).

BTW i have found a way to retrieve information about an unknown to me object in English. I just search for it in google images and see what it is from the photo. In this case here is one of the first photos i found:

This sounds like a big of a stupid mistake, it's good you're dad noticed the problem before he delivered it!

Ah yes the side skirt, that is why "running board" didn't quite fit into my dictionary.

I have a few questions:

1. Was it on both sides?
2. If there was a mix and match, then that means there is a 6er out there with m6 side skirts.

I still don't know how someone could miss this, despite that fac that BMW has all these check points in place before the car is loaded and shipped.

^ Side sckirt is better terminology. Thx.

BMWFREAK: thats what was so interesting. They have a ton of check points....

Not saying that it's a good thing, but it's not a huge problem either. Mistakes happen. Then again, look at the regular 6er, not that different:
