Old door handle out: (BMW again want €250 for two special tools to get the handle out, coathanger and a flathead screwdriver do the same thing):

Well chuffed with the repair. :D
Now to repair the old one and keep as a spare.
Woke up to discover my front spring broke on the e90 :(
What is it that the comfort access does? makes it easier to pull the handle ?
I was thinking though it looks relatively easier to repair the existing than spend a bunch on the replacement.
Lets you open the door and start the car without having to take the key out of your pocketQuote:

You have to be right beside the door you want to open for security. You also can't start the car unless the key is actually in the car for additional safety.
The touch sensitive strip typically fails too after water shorts it, so a new handle is usually needed. Also couldn't pass up on the price for a brand new one in the correct colour.
Collected my 95s from being refurbished :)

I know there were issues, but all credit to Tony and the guys in Route66, they never once gave me any hassle with re-doing them. Ireland could do with a lot more companies like them and they have a lot of refurbished BMW stock for not big money. There's an awesome set of Style 218s there which would look amazing under an E90 IMO.
One of my favourite OEM wheels! They look great

Multispoke and concave or dish is always a winner, great looking wheel on the 3 series :cool:
Are these the final wheels for the car or can you see yourself changing them??
