Best replacement or cover for F30 door handle

As with others, I have a sticky door handle on my F30.

I would like to either replace it or buy a cover.

Anyone can recommend me a good replacement or a cover?

I do find a cover on amazon. I am new, I want to post the link, but I am afraid i can get banned due to shilling.

Thank you

Indeed, the plastic on the inner door handles tends to break down and becomes sticky over time. You can either cover all 4 handles, or replace them, which requires removing all 4 door panels, and basic DIY skills.
There are plenty of YouTube material to get covered on this subject. The aftermarket door handles don't suffer from the stickiness issue, since they're made of durable ABS and degrade over time. I've replaced the door covers on my F30, 2 years ago and so far so good. Here are those I got from Ali Inner door handles

You'd have to be Jeff Bezos for that to happen.

I bought these to replace my handles

But Kies MS has a particular nice looking set for a bit more that is more durable. I probably would have gone with those if I hadn't have gotten the Motoku one's first.
