Thanks. I can't find anything at all on Google with "Smart Gear", BMW G05 side steps as search terms though...
Do you know if they needed to drill holes on the structure of the vehicle? Does it come with a button in the car to control its deployment (to fix/lock it in place, etc.)? Would you be able to share some photos of the underbody of the car how/where it connects?
Cheers man. Also saw your brief video of it on your ig channel.
I had asked about this here a year ago but didn't get nearly as much replies. https://g05.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1794652
I see things like these on Aliexpress now for just over $500 a pop. Mainly concerned about its rigidity and if it'll drill holes/cause BMW factory warranty concerns. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000506688670.html |
Hey! Yeah sure I'll send a pic of the underside when I get the car up, planning to do a wash of the underside in about a month, once all the snow goes.
There's a button to turn the steps off completely which is fitted under the glove box, out of sight. Also if you close the door and put your foot on the running boards they'll stay open (for washing ect) until you open and close the door again.
As far as mounting holes, they're fitted to mounting points that are already there, I believe they're the jacking points.
Those AliExpress ones seem legit, I mean there's a company selling suspiciously looking similar ones for double that price!
