But I will know what to do next time. And hopefully others will see all this and follow the advice - Buy the BMW carrier.

Dealer will be $500+

Good luck to all

Well if your dealer is charging you $500+ bucks for a door carrier, they deserve the term stealer, but you can buy it on line from a genuine BMW Dealer (not STEALER)for just under 130. It's about a hour shop time so even if they charge 200 bucks an hours that still leaves over 200+ bucks unaccounted for.

Carrier, outside door handle, front left. DOOR CONTROL FRONT for BMW X Series X5 (1998 - 2007). #51218243615

Hopefully he will report back and let us know his bill. My vote is on $500 (+- $50) for the repair, as there will be a 1 hrs labor charge for "resetting the system"- ha ha.

You and I do everthing ourselves so that is NEVER an issue. Have wrench, screwdriver, trim tool, etc...will travel/repair!

I have to assume your 'Cuda SixPack was an actual AAR SIX BBL?

Don't forget the hazardous waste disposal fee. LOL

Yes my old Cuda was an AAR Six pack (3 - 2 barrel carbs). My dad was an ASE mechanic at a Dodge dealership so he help me keep that awesome car in tune.
