Trying to find the difference between these rocker panels
Hello! Recently I did some damage to my rocker panels, and I want to replace them. I received a quote through the dealer, way to rich for my blood, so I will do it myself. The dealership is recommending this rocker panel (PART NUMBER: 51777363396) which appears to be a non-m sport rocker panel, which is odd because my car DOES have the m-sport package. So I was looking for other options and I found this (PART NUMBER: PKF32MSPORTSIDES) which appears to be the rocker panels I have (from a visual standpoint) the ones BMW recommended just say “no m-pkg” so I am wondering what the difference is and what ones I should purchase?
Thanks! Below I’ll leave a link to both products. Recommended: https://www.getbmwparts.com/oem-part...ng-51777363396 My choice: https://www.getbmwparts.com/p-f32-33...f32msportsides Thanks for any and all help, also are they easy to install? I have a place that will paint them well, just trying to save a few bucks.  |

Always look up part numbers at www.realoem.com
51777363396 is the base model. The dealer is an idiot. This is the M Sport: https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=51_9258 |
