HELP!!

Hello,

Does anyone know how to remove the exterior door handles on 2011 F10? I have seen videos for a 3 series, but it doesn't seem to be the same. Can anyone verify if the interior door panel needs to be removed in order to do this?

Thank you in advance.

The foreman at my dealership helped me out!

To write a full post.

It's very simple, there is a small black rubber piece on the door frame, once removed will grant direct access to the mechanism that holds the handle to the vehicle. You will need a torx screwdriver, simply twist as far as you can then manually open the handle and it will ease out, then just un-clip the electric component.
