Exterior Door handles
Has anyone here replaced or painted their exterior door handles? I can't stand the chrome and wanted to replace them ASAP.Any advice on how to remove and paint them? TIA!

It will cost you $400 plus to have them removed and painted or they can be vinyl wrapped for $30 or so. I opted to have mine wrapped. Search "door handles" in the M5 forum for some good examples.

Or by Gloss Black Vinyl from Amazon and practice your skill.
I did my own F06 650GC, G30 540, and my customer's F90 M5.

Agreed with above, just buy some wrap off ebay or amazon, do it yourself. It's incredibly easy, I did it on my last 750. I also did my rear reflectors on this car, took about 2 minutes each side. Wrapping larger pieces is much more difficult.

yep, mine are body colored - if they weren't it would look weird since i have the M package and all the trim is black... then again, on my last 750, M sport, everything was black EXCEPT the door handle inserts...what a strange oversight.

$75 total cost for paint matching your handles? How did you pull that off?

Well, I admit, I know the owner, but he didn't have anything to do what Mark, his painter charged. It was a two minute job to take the handle off the door, taped it off, scuffed it, mixed the paint, shot it/cleared it. I probably got it done for less than other shops might have charged, but there is less labor involved that one might think.
