2014 Door Handle

[Florida-X3]

Yesterday during the high winds from the storm we had, someone who was parked next to our X5 let the wind whip her door open and put a dent in the passenger door and scuffed up the door handle pretty good.

My question is, does anyone know for a fact if the door handles are painted or made of a color match material? Our car is Alpine White and it appears to me the handle is not painted but made of a Alpine White material.

If it's not painted I'm going to insist it be replaced. All the tech still works in the door/door handle (handle puddle light, soft close, touch sensitivity).

Thanks in advance!

Those door handle are painted to body color. It is not made with color match material.

Thanks for the info guys .... looks like it will be a paint repair vs. a replacement.
