Feel free to ask more if it doesn't work

That plastic cover that you have to remove to get

to the inside bolt is on the side of the door(driver door is what I removed), right above the locking mechanism.
Use this linck to remove the door panel: http://www.xoutpost.com/articles/x5/e...nt-bmw-x5.html

and this:

Sorry , but I can't find a picture of that plastic piece that needs removed from the side of the door.
Which door handle is bad on yours?

Here is another nice link:

but again, no picture of this plastic cover(because they only show how to fix the window regulator, not the door handle carrier):

If you can't find that plastic/rubber oval piece

you won't be able to remove the outside locking slot(where the key goes in).
Once you find it and remove that plastic piece, there is one screw behind it which you have to remove. Once that's done, you can pull the locking slot out.

Here it is, maybe this will help you spot it:

In the third picture, where the whole door can be seen, on the door panel you have the "airbag" sign. On the same level with the airbag sign ( but on the painted side) above the locking mechanism, that's where that plastic cover is located.

You will reach that screw thru

the opening that you see once you remove that small plastic cover
Once you unscrewed it, pull on the door lock mechanism(part of the door handle). It will come right out.
With the door lock removed, turn the door handle up(or down) and remove it from the door.
now you should be able to remove the handle carrier.
