Thank you so much for posting this video, made my life hell of a lot easier and less sticky. Can’t believe this is such a common problem with these vehicles, BMW needs to get their shit together. Thanks again.
Agreed about getting their shit together. Why do they paint that crappy rubberized coating over all the switch panels (windows) and the steering wheel? Mine is starting to peel and looks terrible. I hope I do not have to remove every switch panel to get rid of that crap, god knows how many labour hours that will take me! What an utterly stupid idea BMW!
Thank you for your video . Literally took me 15 minutes to replace all 3 inner handle. Thanks one more time
Thank you very much, I've this sticky problem for over a year and I didn't know it's that easy to solve.
Thanks again from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦🇺🇸
Thanks for the video. You saved me a few minutes by letting me know I had to get my torx set out - 2xT20 and 1xT10 (at the bottom) - super easy! From watching your video I saw that the best way to come at the clips was to start at the back most edge and work it from the side and top - moving forward. I was done from start to finish in under 5 minutes!
Thank you!!! Here I thought that I had to remove the door panel. Does not get easier than this. No more sticky grab handle!
I was told TWO HOURS OF LABOR....and they would have to remove the door panel... BEWARE.
Thanks for the video man. You just saved me at least two hundred to three hundred bucks.
Yess man thank you! Easy af just didn't know how to start. Was read in 3 mins!
Just the solution I was looking for, thank you for taking the time to create and post this. Saved me lots of awkward conversations and profanities my passengers!
Thanks for making this video! I was able to replace the handle super easy! I bought the part off of ebay for $22 and a nylon kit and it took like 10 minutes. Love it!
Awesome!
Brian Bosley what is a nylon kit?
Thanks! Saved me extra steps I was thinking needed to be done.
Great video! Had it off and on in 10 minutes. Used a large head straight screw driver to remove it the first part of the handle. NO more sticky handle and black mess on my hand. How to get my payment for my labor from my daughter. LOL!!! Thanks again!
great video- followed your instructions and swapped out my gummy handle. thanks!
Nice one, thx for the video. I was afraid i would have to take the door panel off too! Just ordered 3 handles! Thx.
THANK YOU!!!!! Omg I hated this sticky door handle issue
Nice one. I just bought a 08 x5 and it has that gummy handle. Thanks for the helpful vid
Thank you so much for posting this video.
Thanks a ton for posting this video. Do you know if the door panel needs to come off for F30 (2012 335i)?
Danke für das Video 👍 hat mir sehr geholfen. LG aus 🇦🇹👊
Is this going to work for my 2011 BMW 535i xDrive?
Please help!
Thank you!
Torx T20 (2 Main Screws) & Torx T10 for small screw. And a Pry tool.
Hey all, this is super helpful. However, my top T20 is just spinning and won't come free.
Any ideas how I can get it out?
Just did mine. Took less than 10 minutes!
Simple thanks..btw Amazon has all plastic replacements for all the doors
Super easy. Thanks
I'm looking at a quote from BMW right now, and they are charging me $410.77 for this!!! LOL Never thought I'd say it, but thank goodness for CZcams!! I'm buying the part and doing it myself!
Geez how they could justify charging $410 to do this 5 minute job is beyond me. Glad you found this video! Good luck!
Oh that's a total RIP off!
Great! I’d love one in alcantara 😀
Thank you!
Thank you man :)
Thanks God explained
Just did x5 passenger side. Didnt order the BMW OEM part as this problem would just come back. Got a direct replacement off Amazon but made with higher quality ABS+PC plastic that won’t breakdown and get gummy. 20 bucks. Company called Jaronx.
Before installing this part i recommend you to spray it with non gloss lacquer spray to avoid damage, even you can do it for all hand door for protection.
Thanks Bro, gonna change it out tomorrow.
Do the aftermarket handles have this rubber coating crap on them too or are they just bare plastic? My 09 E70 handles have lasted 14 years, so if the new ones last that long either a. I will be dead by then or b. the car will be in the scrapyard.
Thanks mate!
very helpful
Is this the same for a E90??
merci pour ce tuto.Mais j'ai une vis torx plus longue que :pourquoi?
Thanks for the video bro. My wife's 2011 X5 has this problem too and it's nasty as f*ck! Cheers!
My 2010 E70 X5 had exactly the same problem. I just got the part, followed this video and changed mine. Easy as pie! Thanks very much.
NB. I have a RHD (Australian) car. The part number for the front passenger door (on the LHS) is #
51416969401
Are the Right and left Inner Door Panel Handle back seat a different size?thks
E70 front and rear use same handle on passenger side, driver rear is different hand.
Send link to part please
Is the rear door handle the same part number as the fronts?? ...rear on mine is jacked up
The one behind the passenger front is same for rear door.
Awesome
Good job. Thanks for the part number 51416969402 Black for my X5M .
You would think for the money these vehicles cost BMW would use higher quality materials. They really messed up on the X5 series. I just had to replace 6 parts under the hood that crumbled and fell apart (51717169420; 51717169419; 51717169421; 64-31-6-945-583; 64-31-6-945-584; 51-23-7-161-345). When you mention this to BMW, they don't give a damn. When you search online, you will notice thousands of these engine and door parts being ordered; sounds like a materials quality control issue. I never had an issue with my 07 M6.
Yeah it's disappointing for sure, they seem to build them to only hold up for a few years now days. At least the parts aren't too expensive all things considered.
Can you tell me where you bought the inner door handle part?
www.ecstuning.com is where I got it from.
What about F10?
Does this apply to a e92 328i 2008 Bmw coupe ???
Eric Rodriguez No but I have another video coming that should. I am doing the same on my 335i E90. I'll have that uploaded within a couple days.
does this part work on the front and back? ECS says this part is for the back but it looks like you are putting it on the front.
Eric Garr yeah same for front or back.
front and rear are same on passenger side
@@dpcollect8754 is it different on driver side?
Sadly, the X3 F25 seems to require door panel removal. Yuk. I thought I had found a suitable substitute when I saw a product that lets you stitch a leather cover over the whole thing... but that, sadly, is no longer available. I with the guy who designed this part of the E70 had communicated with the guy who designed this part of the F25. :)
BMW rep told me it is caused by natural oils from your hands. 🤔 Don't think so
Typical BMW BS! I was told i needed to urgently change 2k of parts at a recent check or fail the next official inspection. It had an official inspection 1 week earlier and sailed trough!
Never go to the Stealership out of warranty. Find a good Indy shop.
Definately wrong. Its peeling off because of their "soft touch" plastic treatment. This has been happening since atleast e46/e39 gens , so earlier than the 2000's.
I have the same problem on my 328i. I'm curious how it was so easy for you to remove your handle while these guys on CZcams are removing the whole door. Craziness! I don't want to remove my door.
👍👍
Hope you got your smoke detector battery changed.
Thank you so much that really helped. Really bad of BMW to use this rubbish coating. You would expect more of a luxury cat maker. Just more they can get to replace and make more money. So much for customer satisfaction. I will not be buying a BMW again, due to all the other little faults which pop up. Mind you VW are worse! German cars, and i have 4 of them!
By the way... Look on ebay, there are lots of aftermarket replacements which are just as good and 25% of the BMW price.
where do they produce this kind of junk from bmw? certainly not in korea...
why would Bmw make door handles that do this? they should pay for my dry cleaning
Ford Have some problem just get derty hand
BMW sells you toys and not cars to last for long. they do not own their mistakes and faulty products they put in the market. these sticky gummy happens on handles of doors that i never used....anyway what i did i just scrapped all the melted crap with plastic knife and cleaned with soapy hot water and put them back , the base is black anyway so why bother paying Bad Motor Wanker for parts that will melt again anyway??
BMW cars leak oil like sieves. Especially those manufactured in the few years either side of 2010. Poor design (6cyl diesel requiring frequent hour-long drives at >80kmh to prevent emission filter clogging up quickly). Poor quality, parts broken within couple years and costing a king’s ransom to replace. We had 3 (323, 525, X5) around the same time and never again.
I just did this on my buddies 2008 X5 passenger door. Cinnamon Beige Handle P/N 51-41-6-969-404 was $249 at the Portland, Oregon, dealer; $159 including S/H from BMW of South Atlanta. The driver door handle, which is used far more, is normal, but the passenger door handle front is the one that's nasty with goo. Are others having the same experience??
