Removing Door Panel on BMW 3 Series

Model: BMW Serie 3 F30, F31 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Door trim panel

Using a plastic trim tool or a small flathead screwdriver, detach the protective plastic around the inner handle. Next, remove the two exposed Torx screws. Take off the cover for the window switch and disconnect its connector. Again, using a trim tool or flathead screwdriver, pry around the panel to detach it from its location. Finally, disconnect the various connections. For reassembly, reverse the steps: connect the wires to the new panel and snap it into place, reposition the window switch cover, and reinstall all the pieces.
