Today we will explain how to independently replace the interior door handle of a BMW Series 3. To carry out the replacement of the handle, we need to remove the cover of the handle using a plastic removal tool or by inserting a metal card and a small flathead screwdriver inside the handle.

We unscrew the screws located at the back of the handle and detach the door panel.

We disconnect the connector and place the panel on a work surface to release the locking screw of the handle. After removing the screws, the handle will come off, and if necessary, we can use an electric screwdriver for disassembly.

We install the new handle and reassemble the door panel.
