Running boards for 2008 ML's

I recently traded my R for a new ML320 CDI . I find it little difficult getting in and out of ML without side steps or running boards as ML has little higher ground clearence than the R.

The cost for the delaer installed option when purchasing was $510 ( Free installation) Unfortunately the dealer had the part on order and I did'nt want to wait

But now when I enquired my local dealer about the running boards he says the price is 940 + installation

Any recomendations on where to get the running board ( the new aluminium ones with black spots)

Unrelated to your question, I am curious as to why you changed vehicles. Any problems with the R?

Who wouldn't trade an R for an ML320cdi, if given half the chance? My wife says the R looks like a damned hearse.

That's funny. I work with a lady who's husband owns a funeral parlor. She had an E350 wagon and they were considering an R class to be the "pick up car" that they use to bring bodies from the hospital to the funeral home.

Look around and you will find something north and south of $750 ( I can not post the link) got them and any body shop can install for you in 1 hour ( I do myself). Good luck.

I have the boards you are talking about on my M-don't find them real useful. I am 6' and jsut don't need them. However, wifer is only 5'6" or so and she does use them. Have also been told that they are useful if you have a bad knee.

Can one of you guys post pictures of your running board? Would be interested in seeing them. Thanks!
