Yup definitely! Considering changing the interior handle cap to black as well to match the trim.
For anyone that's curious or interested, I took some pics of a full handle replacement that I original purchased from eBay before going with the black trim route. Quality and feel is really nice, very similar to OEM and color is fairly close. As mentioned by another member, you would only be able to tell the difference if you installed it. Part was about $34. |

FYI, this is a quick snapshot of the message I received from the seller on the size of the rear window switches.

4Romie, I can confirm the window switch covers are the right size. I bought the same kit from the same seller but in black and got a chance to install the replacement trim on one of my rear doors this morning. Fits perfectly.

I bought this kit for my Cinnamon interior. Matches pretty well and feels great! no more sticky bs. Make sure you buy a kit that has all small switches (3x) for passenger front and the rears.
From deduction it seems that maybe the F18 variant (not sold in the US) utilizes those larger switches in the rear where the F10 uses the smaller ones. The ad below says the message them after purchase to specify F10 vs F18. https://www.ebay.com/itm/7pcs-Interi...item23b16f388d

Nice! Thanks for the info on the Larger switches.
Yeah, after buying my kit I was mad I waited so long to replace.

Build quality is solid. I was a bit worried that some tabs might not be aligned but everything just snapped back into place like oem pieces. It feels much better than the gunky wax from the original trim pieces. No complaints here for such a cheap kit🙂

The original rubbish material that BMW used, and profited from, does not deserve to be in the interior of our cars. Just replace the lot and enjoy, never to think about the horrible handles again. |

I replaced my driver's side handle back in May for the same reason. Super easy & was like $40 from ECS Tuning or Amazon (don't remember where I bought it). You do have to remove the door panel, but again is very easy to do.

I've seen several DIY videos, and it does seem fairly straightforward. I just looked on AMZ, LF pull handle is $27, and complete 7pc set is $36. I am going to choose the later, as I just discovered my RF handle is jacked up. My rears seem ok but might as well replace them with a new set. Thanks for the advice.
