Is it necessary to install side steps on the BMW X1?

[VanLaura]

It is not recommended to install side steps on the BMW X1 because the vehicle's height is not significant enough to affect children getting in and out of the car. Installing side steps may cause issues, such as splashing mud and water on pants during rainy days when the pant legs catch on the steps. Definition of side steps: As the name suggests, side steps are installed on the side of the vehicle to facilitate entry and exit, commonly found on SUVs and MPVs. Some vehicles come with them from the factory, while others can be retrofitted later. Classification of side steps: Fixed steps and electric steps. When the door opens, the electric step automatically extends and stops at its limit position. When the door closes, the electric step automatically retracts back under the vehicle.
