I was perfectly happy with mine.  Enjoy a few scraped knuckles if you're doing it today :-)

To the 3 posters above be careful with the cheaper version that's what had been fitted to mine didn't last 2 months I bought oem dearer but obviously far superior.

Yeah +1 on that. 2 weeks my cheap eBay part lasted before the metal snapped off. Just replaced with BMW oem part so hopefully should las longer. Don't want to do that job for a third time!

I've just finished replacing my carrier. I now find that the drivers side door will not lock nor unlock with the key bottons remotely. Have I forgotten to reconnect something?
