Review on 🚪 BMW X5 Front Passenger Side Door Handle Replacement - Replaces 51218243616 - Compatible with 2000-2006 Models - Exterior Door Handle Carrier Assembly by Butros Allen

I just installed this right front door handle bracket on my 2005 X5. It turned out to be of decent quality, but the casting is very sloppy. I had to file in many places to get the handle to fit. I also had to heavily file the area where the back cover slides into the holder. The end of the cable was also very difficult to fit onto the door latch ball. It ended up taking 2-3 times longer than installing the original part. I'm also not happy with how low the grip sits, it's not flush with the cap next to it. I may have just hit a bad one, but it took too much effort to just make it work. I should also note that I am a BMW Master Tech, not an amateur. I have replaced this part dozens of times in my career.
