Way to make friends fella

I could be wrong, but don't believe there are many people who have specced the deploy-able side steps - probably due to the cost.

Maybe check out the sister site RRSport2.co.uk specifically for your model  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

I have had the deployment steps fitted due to the fact my wife needed them as she has a bad leg and found it hard to get in and out without the steps.
They are over priced like any other Land Rover extra, to be fair I think the only good value extra is a spare wheel !!!!!
Can you guys on the forum think of any good value extra???????????????????????
The steps do have a slight bit of spring when you step on them, which is not a problem.
Only cleaned the car once and the steps was easy to clean and they come up well with little effort.
Are they worth the money?, in my case yes but just to look good its a awful lot of money.
If you have any questions on them or want some pictures just ask
Thanks

How much did the dealer charge to install them? The option costs £2200 or thereabouts and I've heard figures of up to £800 for installation. It would be less if LR had included the wiring loom as standard to avoid tearing the interior of the car apart and I think the whole thing would be less if LR installed it as an option on the line. Mark

I paid £2200 for the steps, the fitting was done by the main dealer free of charge.

That's good value because there's a lot of work involved - was told about 6 hours and with main dealer rates being what they are... Mark

Can I stick my bit in and I promise not to type a love poem about my car I had fixed steps on my first sport and the anodised soon started to discolour and yes after a couple of years they did as mark sujested they started to look tired , the wife thought they where great for easy access / exit , however I didn't bother on my BE and after a couple of weeks she stopped mentioning it also with the bodykit on the BE they would have looked out of place , I haven't bothered thinking about them on my soon to arrive hse I believe it's a tad lower anyway Rob

Robot... First of all I would like to say how head over heels i am with the new RRS...

On my old RRS the steps got a right beating...living in the mountains...salt snow and loads of mud//

I found a good scrub with autosol once a year brought them up close to brand new.... it's wonder stuff... did u ever try it.. 2014.5 SDV6 AB Dynamic ... Fuji /Santorini Pan roof and 22's

Andman hello , yeh I tries autosol and to be honest I am not complaining about them just to say unless you have a need for them then I think the car particular the new sport looks better without again only mo rob

Sidesteps are tested in all conditions including Eastnor Castle and are subjected to the same amount of work that the car normally undergoes.
If you still aren't sure about deployable steps, why not go for the fixed step?

Apologies, that was a remarkably sensible response wasn't it

We have the deployable side steps £2500k fitted and have to say they are very good. Cleaned several times now as we live close to lots of farms, and they have come up great.

Makes getting in an out that bit easier but really are a nice to have not a must have.

P.S - We Love our RRS2

If they cost you £2500k, they would certainly need to be good at that price...  Mark

Why do some people ^^^^^^^ have an unhealthy obsession with the cost of deployable side steps?

They cost what they cost (and £2.5k is a pretty good deal), if people want to spend their money that way, up to them. If they don't, they don't.

I would never spend my money on wade sensing or the 5k audio system, but if someone else would, good for them.
