What did you do to your 5 series today?

Small fixes for interior.

Door panel now done. Looks like new. Now I don't wanna touch it.

Zener, I've wanted to do this repair for quite some time, but have shied away from it as I did not want to attempt to pull the door panel. Another member of this forum (and sorry, I cannot recall exactly who that is) provided detailed instructions on how to do it. I think your post has prompted me to start gathering materials and instructions to do exactly the same thing to both my front door panels. The soft plastic rubber pieces have practically disintegrated! Thanks again.

Taking out the door panel is easy. I will probably order the handle for right side too. It's not bad but little bit worn.

EGR removed and plugged. Also noticed lot of play in turbo so ordered new melett chra for it. VCG also leaking, but that will be addressed when I change timing chain.
