In this video I show you how to change out your door handle on your E90 BMW. This method would be similar for E92s.
I bought the flowing kit of Amazon:
With this kit you do not need to melt the plastic on the door handle to bond to the door. This is an aftermarket option that uses screws to secure to the door making the job a lot easier.
I have another DIY on my channel showing you how to replace your door pull with the OEM BMW part and I used JB weld to secure it, some people were not comfortable with that option so I thought I’d give this method a try and I’m happy I did.

So the pull handle on passenger side is the same as the rear right?
Can I just replace the handle cover ?? that’s what’s sticky not the back part
Both videos are super helpful and treasures for us e89 diyers. Thanks a lot
Awesome video – I changed the handles like I did it a thousand times! Made a daunting task simple and quick – Thanks!
Bro your video is the best illustration of how to change door handles not to long and boring straight and too the point buddy good on you.
Much appreciated! I replaced the handle on my 335D. It took an hour, but would be 20 min if doing it again.
Great result. Thanks
This handle offers absolutely zero operational necessity. I was able to use my flat bar to yank it after I got the screws out without taking the panel off.
I'm not a mechanic. Good video. Mine looks and works great! Took me 30 minutes and $15 new handle + $7 new clips. Thanks! Some of my 10-year-old plastic bolt clips broke when I removed the "wood" trim. Fortunately. Amazon sells a bag for $7 dollars. I suggest only using plastic ($1 putty knife) to pry the "wood" trim and door panel. If it does not pop easily, use a flashlight to look in all of the holes for a T20 screw still in place. I left all of the wires (speaker & idk what the others are) connected while I replaced the handle. I used a 99 Cent Store rubber mallet to pop the clips back into the door frame. I had a T20 screwdriver and a 3/8" drill bit already.
I taught the previous owner just put this sticky thing to cover the handle lol I didn’t realise this is a common issue for this car
The rear door panel is not like the front, there are not 3 screws securing the panel, but 4. You give no advice or even show re-mounting the panel onto the door frame. Thank you for helping me damage my door panel. Next time, please don't post misleading, incomplete or wrong instructions.
Great video dude – saved me time and money – thank you
Thanks for the video.. It makes owning a BMW so much affordable.. Keeps up the good work..
your fucking dumb if this is easy
I need to put all , is the same the front right door than the back doors?
piece of junk car
Hi, is there a way for just cover the sticky handle? I am not in taking the door apart, I just want the handle looking better! Can I use a product to cover the little scratches? Thanks!
Thank you. Great video and a great solution. Just replaced the handle on my '08 328i.
I was little afraid to change the handle myself but it turned out to be pretty easy. Thanks….
i heard that as soon as he finished the fix and pulled down the street the bmw turbo went out, the car threw 8 sensor codes and the gasket went bad. he had that fixed for 8k. then discovered that the dash was melting. he fixed that and then the car threw 20 more sensor codes. he mortgaged his house to fix the codes. the car threw 30 more codes…………..
You didn't show us how you put the door back on.
eBay has them for $17
dows it fit the 335i 2007?
Did this yesterday, handle I got didn’t have the hardware and the tabs going through to back of door were too long. Instead of using job weld I put my poker in the fire and melted the tabs down like stock was! Holding strong so far!
Anybody else's car get dusty inside easy?
The wood looking trim piece came off my drivers door on my 2008 335XI E90 sedan and I can't seem to get it to snap back into place. I can get the part facing the dash to snap in place, but the last few clips towards the other end of the door, especially the last hook on the very end of the trim piece, won't snap. Any pointers. Thanks.
