Remove the outer door handle of the BMW? Let's take off the handle from the 3 Series. Move the plastic cover at the top of the door, then unscrew the handle's retaining screw.

Remove the handle clip located to the left of the handle. Pull the handle out from the car door and compare it with the new handle.

Install the new handle in the door, tighten it with the screw (using a screwdriver). Test the correct installation and operation of the new outer handle.

Close the door after maintenance. Cover the door side with the plastic cover.
