Anyone replace their interior handles with aftermarket?
My F36 interior (Carbon Silver) handles are worn out. BMW OEM is expensive (over $200CAD for a single handle pull for cheap plastic). I was looking at these but not sure about fitment and if pattern would match what's on the dash. Anyone else replace their handles with aftermarket?

i feel like i've had success on the bay for interior trims. I think a complete set depending on the trim and wear & tear can be between $200 - $400 for all the pieces.

Come to think about it, in my E39, the door handles and dash board trims have wood veneer applied to the aluminum base.

I had the rubber part deteriorate on both front doors. Used a snap-in carbon fiber look trim for $20.
https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1880394 For the entire handle, I would look on Aliexpress, Amazon, or EBay unless you want to OEM BMW gold-layered and diamond-studded ones for $1000. Better wear your white gloves with them.... Here for the E90 and F30: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09DXW9NH7...hlbWF0aWM&th=1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08M5GVXVD...hlbWF0aWM&th=1 https://www.amazon.com/MOTOKU-514172...e%2C172&sr=1-4 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08M3GS3FC...hlbWF0aWM&th=1

On the flip side, though the f30s don’t seem to crack as much, the aluminum seems to separate from the plastic backing after a while, my main one on the dash is doing that and I need to epoxy it down. Still, the real veneers take the trim to a whole different level than the fake painted or plastic stuff in cheaper cars, not even a close comparison |

I went for the carbon & alcantara M-Performance trim set...but the carbon door handles come with dash trim pieces too, which made it £600.
Got a good price on the whole lot from a local dealer for £1000:

mmm-five Love the look of dry Carbon, but not fond of Alcantara personally.
I'm thinking about getting this (custom made to order), but the bright aluminum finish of the narrow strips to be replaced with piano black finish:

For exterior handles which I think OP is asking about is easy trim tool removal on the door handles. I've had both the wood and aluminum on my car and with careful removal and installation there won't be any cracks in the materials. Honestly, a full set is widely available on eBay or in the interior member classifieds on this site.

Could also use 3M S120 satin aluminum wrap which is a 98-100% match

That would look cool and something different than the usual carbon. It would look good with the bottom silver trim painted black or with the black chrome that the F8x uses. There are places that can do colored carbon with whatever pattern also.
