Side Steps - How Hard To Fit?

We think that we need to install the side steps. Really did not want to but the car's just a bit high to step up and down without feeling like you are scraping over the leather.

Can anyone advise on how hard these actually are to fit yourself?

Thanks

they also fend off supermarket trolleys from bashing the doors, and provide something to walk along when you end up parked next to one of these BMW thinggies with the design flaw that stops them being parked neatly.

BMW used to offer a "superiority complex" as an optional extra on its top models......now I believe it comes as standard on all models.... Laughing
