Removing and wrapping M5 F90 door handle inserts
I wrapped the inserts with CF wrap without removing them and the results were ok, but not great. I think it would definitely come out better if I removed the inserts and wrapped them. Has anyone attempted to remove the inserts ? Thanks

I haven't seen / noticed any F90's in Canada with those inserts ... interesting
BMW must think our hands will freeze to them in the winter 😀

So now I want to know if we can get the Canadian retrofit. Got to think IND could cash in on this.

Does the chrome insert pop out, or did you have to send the whole handle(s)?

For those with '18, the chrome inserts are very delicate...
I opted for painting of door handles... Ordered a '19 F90 door handles and happy... Hated the chrome... |

Actually, I just asked and no, interior is not required for exterior handles, it's a breeze they say... |

Installed the pained handles from IND this week. Perfect finish and match. I actually like the detail in the handle the chrome piece (now painted) creates. Best mod for the money to date.

I had IND do the F10 handles and they do a great job. I like the detail on that style handle also and actually miss it on my F90. Painted the chrome piece body color for contrast on the black handle. Will probably have IND paint the outer portion of the F90 handles black, I like the contrast and repeat of the black window trim.
