I am looking for Factory Running Boards for the wife's ML350 and I came across these on Ebay...anyone ever dealt with them? I assume Factory Match means it's OEM replica?

Thanks for any feedback...

Hi Tony,

I have a set of these on our newly acquired 2008 ML. They even match the look of the factory AMG pedal covers.

I really wonder whether these running boards are worth it. I find they get in the way when I'm exiting the car. However if you are really short in leg length, they may be helpfull.

I'd try out an ML with a set fitted first before parting with the bucks.

Maybe they help to keep mud and debris from splashing up.

I'm not convinced of their usefulness or even whether they enhance the look of the ML.

My son said "hey dad, we can run shotgun just like in the ganster movies".

Cheers ... Nick

sosh

Knock offs. If you are going to do it use the real thing! E Bay is not a credable source for Mercedes parts. I have the factory running boards and quite frankly I step over them all the time and never use them. They are too shallow to plant your foot on and they are unnecessary as far as the height of the ML is concerned. They were std on my 10 ML550 and I could not get the vehicle without them.
