Pop off the blind plug in the door jamb (centre piece first) and remove the hex screw as shown below.

9. Pry out the key cylinder (the pic shows the passenger door so this is a cylinder blank).
Now remove the 3 T30 torx screws to release the lock.
Rotate the lock in the door cavity to access and remove the wiring connector
Remove the lock from the door cavity as shown.

Does the key cylinder just slide back in or is it tricky? My outside door handle slides down some when resting. I can push it back up and it stays but I'd like to tighten whats loose. I have never had mine apart and don't want to take apart something I can't reassemble. I watched a video on YouTube and think it may be the bolt that slides into the horseshoe shaped holder that is loose. Maybe the nut is loose? My E46 one just slid apart and right back together. BTW I have only had the X a month now but my door locks, unlocks, and opens just fine.

See pic of drooping handle.
