To replace the front door handle on a BMW 3 Series, start by removing the silver trim in the center of the door using a plastic trim tool. Use the same method to remove the handle cover.

With an Allen wrench, unscrew the screws found in the exposed areas. Using some trim tools, detach the lower edge of the panel, push it upward, and pull it out, being careful of the lock rod. Disconnect the electrical connectors and the opening lever cable.

Using a drill with the correct size bit, remove the rivets securing the handle, finishing the job with scissors. Install the new handle, securing it with the supplied screws in place of the rivets.

Reassemble the panel by reversing the previous steps.
