Drivers Door Pull Interior Handle Replacement From Aliexpress BMW 5 Series F10 F11 Guide
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 вер 2021
- Today we install a new drivers interior door handle pull on my 2011 BMW 520d Touring. This is an Aliexpress handle and cost me around $50 AUD. For the price the quality is very good and the installation is simple to do at home. The kit actually came with from & rear passenger replacements but I have not yet installed as mine are still in great condition and do not require changing.
Recommend this install for anybody who has a handle that is sticky or damaged (like on most BMW 5 series).
Make sure you order the right version (RHD or LHD) for your vehicle.

For anyone watching - the very first thing the guy does - pulling off the "plastic wood" trim piece - DO NOT pull it from the underneath like in the video - IF YOU HAVE the interior/ambient lighting package. There's a plastic light pipe - some call it glass fibre - which remains on the door pannel - after this piece is pulled off - and which is located EXACTLY at the points where this guy pulls from. Actually - the most brittle and protruding part of that plastic pipe is at the front (driving direction) of the trim piece - extremely easy to damage/break. INSTEAD - start by working from rear part of the door, where the trim piece ends - and work FROM TOP of this trim piece, not from the bottom. There will be a metal hook/clamp which needs to be pressed to fully release the trim piece from the door - in somewhat front of the piece - but that can be released once the piece is already abt. 10-15 mm off the door, in other words - the metal hook is easy to see from the top/easy to get to. Also - when releasing the door pull backing plastic - there's a plastic clasp on the door pannel itself, on front of the backing piece - which is easy to break - which is not addressed here. Also - on some Ali shops the metal-looking pieces among the switches are wrong (glossy instead of mat), and for plastic cast parts without the power folding mirror button - the cover for that place can visibly show bad mold lines instead of the missing button. All this - and much more - will be addressed once I post my video about, inter alia, this procedure - once I actually get the door lock to operate in order to get in the car :D :D Either way - thanks for the decent video, greetings from Latvia.
This is the best F10 door handle removal video on UA-cam. This is the only one that explains how to get the electrical connection out of the socket. The others skip it and don’t even mention how it’s removed.
Thank for the video. I have F10 and same problem with the handle. I have order the spare parts and now have confidence to do it myself after watching your video. Great job .....👍
Thanks mate! Very useful video…. Installed mine like a breeze.
Thank you for posting the video. Super useful. £12 all in, excellent!
thanks best video on the F10 door, finished mine in 25minutes couldve been 15mins ended up doing it twice coz I forgot to screw back the 4 screws lol
Thank you!
Ha! I forgot the two door card Torx 30’s & had to remove the two pieces of trim again! 😂
Great video, I changed the mirror on my 316ti the other week!
Thanks so much! These instructions were spot on. Hardest part was just getting the four handle screws all lined up for reattachment. Perfect job.
Nice job, very detailed and well explained. Thank you!
Really appreciate the time you’ve taken to make this video. Excellent job, thank you! 👍🏻
Thank you for your feedback!
Awesome content. Thank you
Thank you bro I followed up stop by step and got it done. 👍
Thank You for this video! Very good explaining!!
Thank you for making this great video.
Your video helped me a lot in replacing the door switch panel on my BMW 520d f10 model.
Thanks for the video mate. Jump some word of advice: 1) The small plastic door handle cover can be a PITA to remove - don't force it or you may break the latches 2) Be careful with the rod, if you pull it together with the door card you may break the plastic clip on the actuator it goes in 3) Always make sure to put back the small plastic washers on the clips and make they are aligned before putting the card back on the door.
great video helped me a lot thanks.
Thanks so much for this video, it’s brilliant! I needed to replace a broken window control module & this video made the job very quick & easy. 🙂 Ps, On the first piece of trim, I found it easier to slide the large rectangular clip on the left out of it’s seat in the plastic, then remove the clip from the door card & slide it back on to the plastic trim before reattaching (the clip was well fixed into the door card risking breaking the trim if I was aggressive with it!)
Thanks for the tip 👍
great, simple but efective, carefully explained video. congrats
Thanks man! Nice one!
Thanks for the video, mate.
Thanks. Worked a charm, nothing broken :)
Outstanding! Thank you
I just bought mine from Temu and replaced it. Looks really good, and has a nice feel to it.
Thank you sir!
I did it thank you very much 😊
Excellent. Thank you.
What I would have done a little differently was to use the opportunity of having the modules taken out to give them a good wipe down and vacuum to get rid of any crumbs, crud and other dirt that would have built up over time.
EDIT: see at 7:16
I'm happy I have it in black colour...
Thank you from morocco
Thank you from trinadad Claudius
hi nice & informative video... i also have 5 series in Qatar. faces same issue.
How is this not the top result on UA-cam? I watched a good 4-5 videos before finding yours and yours is by far the best and most detailed description. Thank you for showing this. I finally feel confident enough to order the piece and install it myself
While you are inside the door ALWAYS check to make sure that the large black plastic cover that is covering the window regulator in each door is "SEALED" COMPLETELY AND SECURELY AROUND so as to not allow leaks as if not you could have a flood in the car. This is especially true if you have had any window regulator work done. The rear doors are especially prone to leaking via this unsecured black pad.
Thanks 🙏
Great video. My interior colour is the same as yours. What is the exact colour of your leather trim? I know you didn’t get an exact match so it’s going to look off.
What type of screw driver ? T30 ?
For anyone with F10 with the same two tone interior, just order black and thank me later 👍
Ok so I ran into a problem when I hooked up the connection my window switch dosent work or light up 😢
To be honest I don't why this issue happens to all bmw cars specially here in gulf area
I got 520i 2016 and it has exactly the same damage door handle
On the other hand I have es350 2014 still in perfect condition and no need to open the whole door to change it!!!
Nicee
Hey, I have a 318i wagon and the doors are leaking water onto my head when I drive. Any ideas how to fix?
I’d probably check the sunroof drains and blow out with some compressed air. If that doesn’t work, wear a hat!
this BMW must be in Europe? Driver side on the right hand side, in USA we have them on the left hand side.
No way.. You didn’t pop that door card with a pry tool that’s for sure. It’s tougher than that.
Get the right colour!
Ended up with the right colour :)
Good video but i wouldn’t be able to sleep at night if i would put beige trim on an oister interior :)) as well most who have the interior lighting.. never pull the upper wooden trim and door handle plastic cap like this as you will damage the lighting fiber cable.
Check the end of the video. I swapped it for the correct colour 😄
Aaah.. sorry missed that ! Good video !
I don't know who have been noticed when you removed the cover of dor opening you damaged that clip
👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
Great video! Did you unplug the battery first?
No need for this job
@@projecteuroau thank you 😄
Great video for instructions but that color is horrible. I have the same color interior and it would drive me nuts for it to be that off color
I have the correct colour now. I ended up sending it back and swapping it for the correct one.
@@projecteuroau Sorry if that came off rude, but glad you are enjoying your car again
This should be under BMW recall!! Apparently the whole world is facing this issue!
Do you have a Lego car? Nothing comes of easily like this. The door handle cover has two clips and one is impossible to remove without breaking it. Yours popped out like it wasn’t there, did you break it and pretend you didn’t for the video?
а в цвет не мог заказать?
Too bad it doesn't work that easy...typical UA-cam video
I document each step exactly. You replace the part exactly as I have outlined in the video. Not sure what your comment is referring to?
That looks horrible cos colours totally different 😂
If you watch the whole video you’ll see I swapped it for the correct colour 👍
