Highly recommend to use this to repair/replace rubberized door handle trims. My 2012 328i F30's door handle trims started to peel after the recent frequent cleanings.

Saw it in another thread. It seems to be a frequent problem with these BMW models. Instead of replacing it (requires the removing of the entire door interior panel and drilling out two rivets) these just snap on. There is an OEM color and a carbon fiber option.

The only complaint I have is that the very end of the trim occasionally gets caught in my pants. I may be able to round it our with a file.

Both major US online seller sites have them for $12-18 for both.

Ive been waiting to do mine for a while now… been hesitant since I didn't want to disassemble door.

I bought mine from here on Ebay, but Amazon has them as well. Double check seller's background, feedback,etc:

There are also replacements for all 4 doors.

Do these just kinda pop on? Or is there some adhesive too?

Can you please share a pic of one handle installed?

They just pop on. It's slightly raised from OEM fit, but I cannot tell the difference. Later today will go down in the garage (condo bldg) and take a photo. One of the few times when the Chinese did not mess things up and did it right

Read some feedback on Amazon and photos taken by those who bought them (I got mine on Ebay):

Took photos of the driver and passenger side of my 2012 F30 328i. The only issue is at the end (closer end in the photo), I need to make it less pointy.
