Interior Door Handle “crewed up”?

[Three28d+]

Anyone else have any of this happening? (See photo below) This is my drivers side door and I have no idea what’s caused it, other than Texas heat maybe… yet the passengers side is fine. Aside from being cracked and crewed up looking it is also pretty sticky.

Better question - where can I order a replacement pull handle?

Yep, heat, hand oils and lotion.
The best source is the dealer, or online BMW dealers like getbmwparts.com

I've replaced a few. Door panel comes off (carefully!) and you release the handle from the door panel by drilling out the plastic rivets. New one can be attached with screws (as in the parts diagram) or plastic melted into rivets again.

I had the same issue on my 2014 328i and replaced the handle this past Spring. In addition to that handle, the arm rest was cracked so I replaced it as well. I bought both from FCP Euro.

It is very easy to do. Door panel comes off easily, drill off the old melted ends of the studs that hold it in, then use screws to attach the new one. Mine came with the screws.

Thanks all. I wanted to follow up that I ran across these and they fit perfectly over the chewed up looking mess. Install was simple - just snap them on. Quick easy fix! $25 for drivers and passenger doors. They also come in different colors and you can buy drivers or passenger sides only.
