Purchased so thought would follow up. They are easy to remove in that just a few screws each. Removing them adds even more width than I thought as the hinged side is connected to some framing that slides out of the framing installed into the walls. I would also recommend inspecting or removing the upper roof aluminum frame piece as mine fell during transport! Luckily somehow did not hit new X3. I think its limited hardware they expected to somewhat be supported by the doors being installed or perhaps mine was just poorly installed.
You will likely want to remove the patio rails also as they just get in the way and also just a few screws/bolts and added bonus of getting rid of a good amount of weight. If do this also remove the latching mechanisms attached to the door so don't cut any tires as sharp edges. Can still use as rear patio with just the cable strap as they are separate. No issue at all loading my X3 XRS with very wide wheels/tires. Actually its a bigger issue on length than width now but still fits just fine just barely on edge of dovetail.
