Review on πŸšͺ BMW X5 Front Passenger Side Door Handle Replacement - Replaces 51218243616 - Compatible with 2000-2006 Models - Exterior Door Handle Carrier Assembly by Cliff Gibs

Revainrating 3 out of 5

A job, but not a job for one person

I'm hesitating between 3 and 4 stars. 4 stars because my door is definitely working now, which is amazing, but 3 stars because all the reviews about some of it being too long are 100% accurate. We swapped the driver and passenger side door handles and it took twice as long (5.5 hours) because the longer 'cord' in the door (for lack of a better term) holding the ball joint holds the doorknob not let go. correct position. After a very frustrating time we finally got it properly seated in the door frame and bolted everything down. I've saved hundreds, maybe over a thousand dollars by fixing it myself instead of taking it to the dealer, but just be prepared for the sweat, curses, and possible tears that come with installation.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Minor problems
