Very helpful tutorial. Couple of pro tips that were left out of the video: There is a gray plastic keeper on the door handle switch that must be rotated to the right in order to remove that switch. It is very fragile so be careful. It also serves to secure the switch in place when you reinstall it. Do not pry it outward, whatever you do. Also, when realigning the door panel along the top, be careful that you reset it so that the rubber seal is in the correct position. If not, you will fight to get it realigned along the top. Just make note of how it looks before you take it off, and put it back on the same way. Last tip, the four screws that are removed using the torque screwdriver are different lengths. There are two long ones and two short ones. Make sure you know which ones go back into which positions.

Agree with others that just saying 'do this' and then magically skipping to where it's done makes the video pretty useless. A couple of key points. The top trim panel has the tab as mentioned but also has a hook on the left side so needs to be slid to the right to remove. Unplug the door switch is not straightforward, it doesn't just pull out, you will break it if you try that. There is a handle at the top that needs to be rotated down and to the front of the switch in order to remove the plug. As you rotate it forward it will push the plug out of the socket. Lastly getting the door card back can be a real pain. To reinstall lift it above the sill line angle downwards and wiggle it under the treble speaker in the corner. Then lower the other corner until it fits neatly into the slot. To remove the switch holder/handle don't use pry tools or you'll scratch the leather. Just push it out from below, enough pressure and it will just pop out. When removing the screws holding the switch holder there are two long and two short, remember which goes where when you take them out. Also when putting the new piece back in the door make sure the top is properly seated before trying to put the screws back in. If the top is not in properly the screw will go under and just push it out.

While I really do appreciate the effort and time taken to make this video, I'm a little bummed that you skipped the prying parts, especially for the rear manual side curtains. Yesterday I tried to remove them but they seemed a little too snug and I didn't want to risk breaking anything. Sadly, I haven't found any other video on here that shows how to pry them off. Yours is the closest, but again, the actual scene is skipped. Despite my trying to pry them where you said to, I got nothing. But otherwise, thanks a lot for the rest, I was able to sort out the front doors without issue!

You gotta show us bro you just be taking stuff apart off camera show everything

doing it and recording by yourself is hard man.

I did my driver side only and your process was right on the money and very helpful. I had the most trouble popping off the handle cover. Everything else went pretty much as expected. Thanks for this.

Did it man... Good video appreciate for taking time explaining each, one thing to add on IF THE REAR DOOR HAS CURTAINS THEN NEED TO REMOVE THE REAR SMALL GLASS CURTAIN TRAY BY POPING OFF USING FLAT SCREWDRIVER AND THERE IS NO NEED TO REMOVE THE REAR DOOR LONG WOODEN STYLE COVER, THERE IS NO SCREW INSIDE

Thanks bro, I really appreciate this tutorial. II changed mine today, looks ,and feels so much better. No more sticky rubber getting on my hands. Took me and hour.

Props on the video! I would let folks know the window plug on the driver's side has a clip that slides over the plug to get it disconnected. Aside from that, your video saved me hours of stress. Thanks, man!

After 4 years am watchimg this video.. and BASICALLY its very informative video. as I own 5 series in Qatar which am facing the same issue of Sticky door handles and melted rubbers.. its really disgusting!

Helpful video, showed it to my mechanic and had no problems switching it out

Awesome man thanks for putting this out! I have to replace my front passenger pull handle (all other items are fine thankfully). But the cheapest I found that thing for was $139. So this kit at a FRACTION of the cost I get the 1 part I need, PLUS everything else for down the road when they all EVENTUALLY will get gummy and crapped out. Great find!

Thanks for this video. I like that you show all the clips and screws. The only scary part of a job like this is breaking something or a clip, then you have to find a replacement. When someone makes a video like this we see where all the clips are and where to pry, so it makes it much less likely to happen.

Mine are nearly to the point of sticking (they don't do that yet), so I recently bought only front ones since rears were in mint condition, never been touched before. Driver door handle was the worst, passenger handle has wear. Once I will get a chance to go to a garage, I will do this job, looks to be rather simple (have done these things with previous cars for audio upgrades so I am pretty familiar with the door panel removal process, just needed that little bit of insight to not mess up in the removal process)

Tnx for the instruction. Did it yesterday on my F11 and worked perfectly.

Excellent block of instructions, I recently replaced the ones on the front doors of my 2014 528i , Thanks for your tutorial !!

Follow up question. I am seeing a lot of these kits out there that seem to have the larger rear switch covers. I know your 1st kit had those as well. Do they fit and just cover more leather or could you not get them to fit at all? Seems weird with a good amount of these companies including them.
