How to disassemble the front door panel in the BMW 3 Series?

Model: BMW Serie 3 F31, F30 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Door trim panel

In this tutorial, we can see how to remove the front door panel in the BMW 3 Series, an extremely simple and quick operation. First of all, we open the door in question, then, preferably using a plastic spatula, we detach the cover of the armrest and unscrew the two bolts that have just been released with a Torx T25 key. We then detach the window switch console, disconnect the corresponding connector, and, leveraging along the entire perimeter of the panel, separate it from the door. At this point, we can disconnect the lock cord and install the replacement if necessary.

Inside the hole, you will find a bolt (to be removed with a flat screwdriver); once this is undone, you can remove the entire rear light assembly.
