Another driver door handle post!

Post by andym3 » Thu Oct 22, 2015 11:54 am

Right another attempt to look at this very annoying issue!

I can't see the problem!

I did notice this slight break in the lock barrel, but this doesn't effect the door handle operation!

And then to top off my frustration I done this to the door handle! Grr!

Has anyone paid BMW to fix the problem? If so how much did they charge?

Have a look at the last two pictures, looks similar to your problem.

Comparing it with your first photo, top left of photo??

Ok thanks  ;)
Think I'll buy another carrier & handle, see how it goes! Just weird as the carrier seems fine!  :-[

Has your photo account been hacked?  I'm seeing what looks like a Syrian flag image?
