Since it's nice and warm out and there was a pretty sweet X5 in my local LKQ, I grabbed two door locks, one passenger side door handle and two flawless moisture barriers from a 2004. I have a 2001.

Was there a reengineering of the flaws in the earlier models?

The part number shows the same on Realoem so I suspect it's thye same as the earlier versions. It's a shame to see such a clean vehicle in the yard.
I would have taken the driver's side door handle but the window was down and I couldn't figure out how to raise it manually.
It's much easier to extract the moisture barriers when the elephant snot that holds them in is warm and soft. I got most of it to come off with the barriers.
