Last night my driver's side door handle became loose on the back end. It is not detached, but there is disturbing play in the handle; It can be wiggled 1/8 to 1/4 inch or so around the point it is supposed to be attached.

What holds the handle onto the door?

How hard it is to get the door panel off?

I'm hoping this is just a screw loose instead of something broken.

My 99 M3 has side airbags in the door panel.

This is off of pelican parts. http://www.pelicanparts.com/bmw/techarticles/101-Projects-67-Doors/101-Projects-67-Doors.htm

Good luck. Doesn't look too hard, just tedious.

I should have specified -- this is the interior door handle...

Thanks for the Pelican link...
