We’ll see. I hope they work for me, cause I had to go with Luxury just to get them (not available on Sport).

You make a very good argument for running boards which is why you need buy what suits your personal needs and not worry what others may think or say.
My recommendation to skip the running boards is based on past experience with them on all three of our GL/GLS's. We rarely if ever used them and they got my pant legs dirty all to often. I haven't actually tried them or even seen them on the X7.
