Hey Guys - Got the dreaded sticky inner door pulls on my '13 F30, When It happened on the drivers side a few years ago
I just bought OEM for around $100 which is steep but was the only option.

Now my passenger side is having the same issue and there is aftermarket replicas for 1/4 the price.

Are these replicas just as good? Has anyone used them?

$25 - Aftermarket - https://t.ly/hwOw8
$92 - OEM - https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...p/51417279312/

Im usually an OEM only guy but its just a piece of plastic, Just wanted to see if anyone has used aftermarket inner door pulls and
if the fit is like OEM? Id hate to buy one passenger pull that's different texture / feel from the rest.

Any input is greatly appreciated.

aftermarket is good quality, i'd be weary replacing with OEM since they go bad eventually, I haven't seen anyone complain about their aftermarkets melting. so in my mind going non-OEM is an upgrade.

I personally got the covers that go around the door pulls, they feel really good you can't even tell that they are covers and they're protecting the actual pulls from damage. I didn't want to take my door cards off.

+1 on the covers. I did that on the 4 doors of my F30. I'm very happy with the results.

Exactly why I reached out to hear what you guys thought!!! Thanks for confirming, What are the covers your talking about? Care to share a link.

Thanks,

i personally only have the front door covers on my car, since I rarely have anyone sit in the back. these covers have a soft touch plastic feel to them, very smooth and pleasant to the touch. completely different from the OEM pulls.

+1 for the covers. Works great, very easy install.

Awesome it looks like it just clicks over top and still looks OEM, This is why I post!!! Much Appreciated!!

Ill put it on both front doors and call it a day.

My driver side is fine but it was an OEM replacement so only a matter of time.

Thanks guys!!

both of mine were fine when i put these covers on, they're just there to prevent damage. i know a bunch of people use these covers when their originals are already far gone, i decided to be proactive about mine. yeah you don't have to do anything, these just slide over your OEM handles and they're a very tight and precise fit that essentially wedges in there. Once theyre installed and tucked in all the way, you can't even tell that there's a cover there.

I went for kies replacements instead of OEM. More involved than covers but I dislike the gaps on the covers.

Sadly the only reason I had to replace was I damaged my original rubber ones when I was swapping trim from burl to hex.

You got your answer OP but +1 again for the covers. Have had them on my car for years now and they still look/feel great. 10x easier to install than genuine inner pull replacements and much cheaper.
