BMW Serie 5 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Bodywork
Operation: How to replace the chrome door panels

Sometimes, even components judged to be "non-essential" in a vehicle obviously break or for whatever reason become unsuitable for the purpose for which they were designed. There are those who also work on the car for tuning, thus modifying it in turn but that is not what we are talking about now. In this guide, we will explain how to replace the chrome door panels, on both sides: another very simple and quick job. I state that first, it is necessary to remove the internal plastic panel of the car so that you can then proceed to the next step: loosen the plastic bar by hand, without necessarily removing it, to the left or right depending on the side you are working on . Then, preferably with the handle of a screwdriver, tap the first two clamps, thus removing the first part of the panel; now, gently, push up by hand to remove it completely. Done!
