Quick video on how to adjust bmw e46 door handles

[bevernylon]

Thanks finally my doors can be opened normally! =)

[thelastdon247]

nice one. such a simple upload yet so valuable. cheers

[jakob21b]

Thank you! That helped tremendously.

I’m happy with my 328i, but the only performance mods are sport suspection and the Signature Motoring performance intake for about $150. Signature Motoring kit adds around 11HP on the dyno, great sound, and the best performance upgrade for the money. See my channel videos!

-Adds 9-11 HP

-Never replace filter again (uses K&N filter)

-GREAT SOUND

-Installs in maybe 30-45 min. K&N filter lasts a lifetime.

I'm thinking maybe performance exhaust, but eh.

[Servicehans]

Thank you from Germany!

[AntPon233]

Thank You!!! from Tennessee. Worked great on my 330Ci

[mikefranky]

This is why i love youtube a quick upload of a video to save us guys a good few £££££ as thats what bmw main dealers will charge you!

My door handles on my 330 ci sport have been like this for last 6 months so i guess its out with the old allen keys tomorrow!!

[TheOneNo20]

My door handle needs replacing. BMW want to charge me £200! Anyone know how to do this? I got as far as removing the interior panel but stopped short of removing the locking mechanism as I wasn't sure. I've got an E46 323i Coupe. Cheers.

[stoplooking14]

[ehurtig006]

Anyone who gave thumbs down is a authorized mechanic.

PS. This was great! I never thought this simple procedure could save me about 500$

[morteza678]

Just did this little trick now, worked a charm. Thanks heaps for the video mate

[alroye46]

What tool are you using?

[tomreading1982]

Mate thanks so much for this video i have been putting off taking my 328CI to the dealer cos it really does cost millions and in two mintues some internet video cured my problem for free! Thanks again bro :D

[theinkmonitor]

It's known as irony, jackstaak - I didn't believe that Americans don't get/do irony, but now I know!

Besides, if you check out the number of people he has helped with this tip (plus the ones who haven't posted a thank you!) it probably wouldn't be far off a million quid.

[jackstaak]

WTF! A million pounds??!!

Thats expensive dude

[vipervet18]

Easiest fix ever, this video was such a great help.

Now to go down to my local BMW dealer and get my money back for the $400 dollar part they said would fix the problem. I wish the world was full of more honest people like you. Thanks again!

[RickDastardly1]

After 2 years of struggeling with my door i finally see this video, thanks a million it works great now

[Solidus517843]

Awesome. did you need anything to remove the grub screw?

[moseley010]

[Pedexman]

[Ollie1984]

My doors were not all that bad but this remedy certainly made them easier.

[perniciousgreg]

Don't do what i did and tighten it the wrong way! the screw fell out and i had to take the door apart lol.

[secretscot]

Brilliant!!!

[Videocitydvds]

Dude, you saved me sooo much money, thankyou!!

[gmls1980]

Thanks man, I had exactly the same problem, You should note that on te drivers side you have to twist the bolt to the other side... But still perfect video

[charliesac]

[chartiton17]

[pullmanyl]

[alexlex85]

this is doc matt,and this is my BMW M3!!!!  10/10

[2010teeman]

Great video.. However my adjustmnent screw is totally loose and it won't tighten. Any ideals why this is just spinning. Thanks

[bmwnasher]

That is the lock ajustment screw mine is already tight the cause of this must be lack of lubrication

[kidda74]

sweet! I'll try that. does it help to have a gob full of chewy at the same time? ;)

[N3RR4D]

i tried this and it done nothing for me, i just blasted wd40 around the locking mechanism and under the handle... problem solved

[thelasthonestguy]

I had just came to terms that it would have to be part of my life, lol so many times people thought i was messing with them, Thanks!

[HECTORtorrez]

mate i couldn't care if you've washed or not.

[ut00p]

cw for the left door and ccw for the right door.

i used a 5/32 inch allen key.

[bmwboi88]

You are my hero!! Thanks a mil!

[Schnake79]

BTW... its the same size allen key that is stored in your BMW tool kit. ;)

[bucknoi]

Very good info thats been my problem for the past year. Handles work way better now.Thanks

[laossun]

wow!!its like abra cadabra!!im gona try that..my lock has the same problem.on the same side..

[mi1ne]

sweet! my doors clunky. ace vid dude!

[brianShrader7]

Wow. Big help. Thanks.

[Schnake79]

I was thinking the same. Until I went to tighten it (clock wise) and it broke lose. I thought I snapped the screw or something worse. Until I started turning anti clock wise and it tightened nicely.

In other words mine was already tight.

[mrbignose888]

I like the sound you make when you try to open it the first time hahaha. But very good tip, my doors are also hard to open. People always think that i locked it.

But i also noticed that the E46 doors are opened a little but upwards, which a lot of people don't know.

[jamesp129]

Ahhh coool, my m3 door is doing this.

[sheraz2]

thanks will give it a go,

[darkpin1]

Ive been trying to resolve this for quite a while and your quick Video did the trick!

Thank you my friend from across the sea.

[docmatt]

No problem :-)

[shan33n]

@docmatt

My door handle was loose on my 528i and the other day, it broke completely off, all that steel just broke. Now I get to replace the whole handle and the driver's door is most expensive but I can't drive around like this for long! If I had seen this video before I may have been able to prevent this issue.



[jorgerewards]

Thank you very much!
