Thanks. I'll still be around here I'm sure.

- Wife has been complaining of sticky/gummy door pulls for a few months so ordered up a replacement set straight from Mr. Bezos. $42.99
Removing these door panels is relatively easy if you're experienced with BMW door skins. If not the door clips can be a bit harrowing given how hard you feel you have to pull. Order a decent set of panel tools and you'll be good to go. You can see the quality and color of the replacement pulls below. Given the age/degradation of the originals I don't know how good the color match is to factory fresh. But I can tell you the fit is great.
TIS instructions for this (yes, the inner pull does have an OE part number) say to just clip off the plastic welding pin. I didn't do that. I used a propane torch and used it to heat up a chisel so I could melt the pin like a factory plastic weld. This worked extremely well as shown below. Doesn't look factory... you know, because I'm not a machine, but it functions great.
After doing all 3 doors (the front passenger was the worst as shown above) the inner pulls look and feel factory fresh. Glad I did this in prep for selling as it's a main touch point.
