Question Purchased running boards... Can't find any DIY installation instructions

This is what I purchased:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/400588620754...S:1120&vxp=mtr

They do recommend professional installation, but was wondering if there were any DIY instructions around that I could use to do this myself. Or if anyone has installed them or knows how to do this, what tools are needed, etc., and can share.

Thanks in advance.

That is usually what no response means. You should direct your questions to the seller of the product.

I wouldn't have come here if I hadn't tried them first. No cigar.

Boards are not available from BMW Canada. Maybe uncommon as OEM.
