Possible to install OEM running board E70

[ring007]

Installed the running boards on my E70 4.8i today. I bought them from my local dealer for $365 with the BMWCCA parts discount. I wasn't sure how long it was going to take me when reading the BMW instructions, but all in it took 4 hours with the help of my 4yr old son (prob would have taken 3 hours without him)

Anyway they look good and I saved 4 hours of labor or about $450 bucks and it was pretty easy.

I found many OEM on ebay selling for $500+. Does anyone know any other place for better price? BTW, I found the install guide at the front page but just want to make sure if it can be done?
