The large centre black clip (BMW # 51418156532 ) connects the door handle (force) to the steel-work - if this clip is missing then pulling the door handle can easily pull the door card off.

This large black clips seems to often end up missing, as folk (folk = mechanics in a hurry!) don't take the time to understand how it is fitted and what it's purpose is - it just get discarded.
