Description of the exterior door handle replacement process of a 1995 BMW 318i.

Upon re-installing the window, make sure you do it AFTER you have re-installed the door handle assembly.

When re-installing the window, I found it easiest to first re-install the rear rail that the window slides on, and then align the window on the rear and front rail. Once this is done, go ahead and re-install the regulator on the window.

Getting the door handle trim piece off and back on is probably the most difficult part of the actual door handle assembly replacement. Its necessary to create a hook tool or find one sitting around.

Good luck!
