Got my new running boards, any install tips?
Just received my OEM running boards from Morristown BMW for my '06 4.4i, they shipped them on Monday, got them on Today! (Tuesday). Anyways, i contacted my mechanic to see if he could put them on, and he instead offered me if i wanted, space and access to all his tools to do it myself. Sweet! Just wanted to know if there were any suggestions, tips, advice, etc, etc, that i should know before installing them. Thanks everyone!

I just installed mine on 03.4.4i - before you start taking everything apart make sure that you have a RIVET GUN, (can get one from NAPA - $29.99)without it you wont be able to do anything.
There is nothing "special" in the installation process - really simple.
