thanks for the video! what I don't understand is how BMW haven't put a final solution to this issue and also not covering it by recall.

Thanks Chris! Now I’m going to officially rip off the multi layers of paper towel that’s covering the sticky son of a handle and attempt to finally do what you have shown me is possible without going to the dealership. For those of you asking, no, there are currently no recalls for this defect! This isn’t considered a safety issue so there will not be one administered for it since it’s “cosmetic”. My handle is black so without it being completely covered, my passengers (who are clients) end up with black BMW goo on their hands AND clothes as parting gifts! That sticky son of a handle is going down.... literally..... because as soon as I take it off the door I’m throwing it across the street into the Creek once I pry it loose from my fingers!

Thank you for posting and the walkthrough. This saved me a lot of money and no more gooey door handle!

Just finished replacing the handle. Thank you for the video, it was quite helpful. all's well & my 2008 328xi wagon is smiling.

Thanks for posting, just finished installing this handle today (9-14-2020). Saved me alot of money!!!!!!

Thanks for the video. Helped out a lot. I even did the chair deal which made doing this a lot easier then unplugging everything.

thanks for the walkthrough. i just got my new set from amazon. going to break my door now. lol

You helped me to replace the door handle of my BMW e90. Thank you so much!! You saved me from 50€.

very detailed and well-explained! Thanks

Thank you sure you’re the best 🙏🏽💯

Thank you got this video I just did mine It took me 20min with this video just like you did with a chair thanks again

Good job on this Video, very helpful. I got the same car just a different color

Thanks for your suggestion of using the chair! I need to invest money in a better drill because it took forever plus I didn’t have any large bits.

Thanks very much for making this video.

Nicely done! Well documented and clear process. Thanks!

Did this today. Very easy to do. There is another video which shows how to disconnect everything inside the door panel, which I recommend. Taking all the way off makes it easier to work on.

Thanks for the instructions. Very helpful. Got it done pretty easily. Not really a DIY’er so this gave me a lot of confidence.

Thanks for this amazing video! I just did this by following your instructions and it's great now!

Thanks so much for the video. I am not a "car guy" at all, but your video gave me the courage to take this project on to fix my wife's car. The passenger sticky handle was a source of constant frustration for her. Only a couple observations. If you completely chisel off the heads of those plastic rivets from the old door handle, you don't have to drill anything. You can simply push those rivet stubs through, I hammered a phillips head screwdriver to punch them out. That way you don't take a chance on accidentally increasing the diameter of the hole. The other thing has to do with removing those screws. You went from a screwdriver to a wrench, but I found that an impact wrench with a torx bit and bit extender made it easy and quick. The main thing, however, is that without your video I would never have tried this fix and it came out great. The color match (tan in my case) is not exact, but the result is still WAY better than the sticky mess that was there and I didn't have to pay BMW the $1,000 they wanted to replace the handle. Thank you!

Many thanks for the video. It's a perfect step-by-step tutorial!

Great video!! Thank you 🙌🏾

A big thanks for posting this video.

Cheers for the vid, bro

Hey buddy!! Facing this task as well lol. Great video.

Excellent video! Thank you!

Very helpful- thank you!

Great tutorial- Bought tools through the link. THANKS

This worked very well, thanks bro 😎

Bravo pour ce tuto qui est parfait 👍 même si on ne comprend pas l’anglais.... Et débutants comme nous. Poignée achetée 10€ sur Ali express. Aucun souci ! Même pas eu le petit « jour » en clipsant la deuxième partie de la poignée. Merci 🙏

Great video! I've been putting off doing this for a while now but after watching your DIY I think I'm gonna go for it! Question though: you said the outer handle was actually still ok and not sticky, and you could have reused it. Do you think if you did, would it have fit better than the replacement? You mentioned there was a gap that didn't really sit flush at the top, so I'm wondering if it's better to reuse the original outer part? Thanks!

とても参考になりました。ありがとうございました。

Are the rear door handles the same as the front?

Just want to let you know that the outer part does deteriorate as well

The two small screws you put on the inside of the door panel to hold the door handle, What type of screws and what size are they ? Great video btw 👍

top bit clicked in on mine but took some effort, you have to really push it on.

How do we know it won't happen again after we replace it?

Why didn’t they use washer screws from factory to mount the handle ?! 😂

Shout out to BMW for the shitty quality door handles coupled with an incredibly complex set of steps to replace it. So glad I spent $50k on this “German engineering”. This is my first and last BMW.

Worst door handle design ever
