F25 X3 Doors

If I had a magnet I wouldn't have to post this, but are the doors on my 2017 X3-35i made of aluminum or steel. I'm guessing aluminum but want to be sure.

I guess that, at least, hood (bonnet ) and bagage door will be aluminium on G01. BMW need to take out 100kg to be competitive.

I ended up buying "Ding-Bats" door protectors on Amazon.com. Great product it gives you one set of magnetically attached pads for each door for only $39. I just use them when I am forced into a tight parking spot I am uncomfortable with. So far nobody has stolen any of them.
