Instructions for Removing Door Handle

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Handle

To remove the internal opening handle from the door panel, you need to take off the panel itself (you can search for a tutorial video on how to remove the door panel in the DIY auto section): once the panel is removed and the cable is disconnected from the lever, you can access the screws securing the speaker located right at the handle's position; at this point, using a screwdriver to pry at the front tip of the trim grille, you can detach it while also pulling away the handle connected to it.
