How to: Fix Loose E39 Interior Door Handles!

  • Hey guys! I wanted to share with you one of my latest products in a line of BMW parts that I designed and 3D-printed at home! This one is meant to fix the loose door handle that commonly occurs on E39's. A little rubber spacer/gasket wears down and leaves room for the inner door handle to wiggle, but my part solves the problem!
    Let me know what you think of this idea, and if you have any other problems with your old BMW that require new solutions! I'm really enjoying designing and building my own car parts. I have lots of other products available for BMW's on my site as well, so check those out down below!
    This product for sale on my store: thebimmerbarn.com/collections...
    Fits door handles with part number: 51218226050 & 51218226049

      Thanks! I'm seeing less and less E39's at my junkyards, so I guess it's time to start making our own car parts!

      Hmm, didn't see it! I designed these from the ground up when I found that my old ones had deteriorated so badly. Thanks for watching brotha!

      ​@@TheBimmerBarn man no worries most likely someone just happend to think the same thing. heck i did this in pla a couple of years back since my passanger door was not working. I'm very thankfull for your videos they helped me fix plenty of issues with my 528i. i did manual swap on it since in argentina fixing an at tranny ys way more expensive than manual swap. sadly i only found the getrac trans, its good but i can go agresive on power upgrades.

      ​@@TheBimmerBarnalso there is a fix ond the rear regulator if you can not find pre lci mecanisms. you use the post one buy a couple of bolts and use a small aluminum sheet to make a support in the bottom so you can have it secure or if your cheap use zipties. third world country third world solutions lol

    I can confirm the exact same thing happens on the E34
    Procedure and fix is the same too
    Just like oil leaks, some things BMW engineers just cbf fixing despite nearly a decade between models...

    You are one clever dude. Glad to see you back on the tube of you. How's your Fiat holding up?

    • @TheBimmerBarn
      @TheBimmerBarn  8 місяців тому +1

      The Fiat is great! I've had to do some services (transmission fluid, timing belt, motor mounts) but been really reliable. I even added 2 more Fiats to my fleet! Would recommend these cars as a reliable daily driver since they're spacious on the inside but get great MPG's. Thanks for watching and sorry for the late reply!

      Currently working on a E39 wagon build, will have more videos on the E53 coming up too, and also some 535xi content coming eventually! Been busy with some other side projects which have taken away my time from editing which is why I haven't been posting so much. Thanks for watching!

    Hi, how are your dyed rear seats holding up? Have they cracked or are they faded from the sun? Thanks!

    • @TheBimmerBarn
      @TheBimmerBarn  9 місяців тому

      No cracks or fading so far! But the car is mostly kept indoors too. I'm about to use the same product again to convert another rear seat so I'd recommend it!

      @TheBimmerBarn I wouldn't mind paying for the design, it's just that the cost of shipping to Europe is probably higher than the pieces are worth.
