Door panel replacement on BMW 7 Series

Model: BMW Serie 7 MK 3, E38 - Years 1994-2001
Part: Door trim panel

Remove the small screw cover present near the opening handle and unscrew the torx t20 now uncovered. In the lower part of the door there is a light bulb: remove the cover by prying it with a small flat screwdriver or with a plastic wedge, then remove the casing in the same way and disconnect the connector. At this point you can start to pry the whole surrounding area, paying attention to the chromed parts (for this it is better that the wedge is made of plastic). Carry out this operation with patience by unhooking the panel a little at a time, then disconnect the connectors and the lock cable.
