The passenger side (right) didn't have that problem...
But I just finish my running board today! Thanks for everyones help! Hopefully i can get a picture on here soon. I just need to run to the bmw dealership one of these days to get one extra blind rivet to really call the job done....

I had exactly the same problem you described on the driver side also. I stuck a bolt in there and screw it on and it held fine. Post some pictures. Good job
