Door Removal and Disassembly Instructions

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Body

To completely remove the door, it is necessary to pull out the hinge pins, the rod pin, and especially disconnect the wiring harness connector. This is protected by a rubber cover with a plastic flange attached to the inner side of the door: once the pins are removed, you can open the door a bit more and more easily access the screws securing the flange. After unscrewing the flange screws, you can remove the rubber cover and disconnect the wiring harness connector. At this point, you can detach the door from the pillar.
