Removing the External Door Handle

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

To remove the external door handle, it is not necessary to take off the panel since a fastening system has been designed for easy and quick removal. Start by removing the rubber piece located on the inner edge of the door right at the handle; then unscrew the hex screw that secures the handle to the door, and using a plastic pry tool, release and pull out the part of the handle that houses the lock; still accessing from the same hole, unscrew the smaller hex screw and remove the handle.
