Door Handle carrier - again

[sheepdip]

Hi guys

Well I re-checked my door lock and the replacement drivers door handle carrier has failed (my own fault for using a second hand unit). I checked with the dealer on Saturday morning and it looks like a replacement is on back order with BMW and may take 5 to 6 weeks.

So, before I strip the car down again, does anyone know if the door handle carrier from the rear door will fit in the front (I'd rather that was broke rather than mine) - there doesn't appear to be any difference on the realoem parts diagrams even though the part numbers differ.

Cheers

Mike
