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!

Re: First M6 we got has a BIG problem....

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.

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:
