How to Remove the Door Panel of a BMW X3

Model: BMW X3 MK 1, E83 - Years 2003-2010
Part: Door trim panel

Before you begin, open the door of your BMW X3 to create the necessary space to work. Using a thin but sturdy tool, start by removing the screw covers, then disengage the insert of the interior door handle. This will give you access to the screws that secure the door panel, which you will need to unscrew and remove. Once you have removed all the securing screws, detach the rear clips of the panel, using the previously mentioned tool. After completing this step, disconnect the plug and the rear wires, and you will have finished the disassembly.
