Guys not sure if this has happened to anyone here and would love some advice: i took delivery of my 2010 535i today and while trying to get something out of the back seat, i pulled "out" instead of "up" on the handle... and... it came out with me.. is there a quick fix for this or am i going to be setting a record by going to the service center less than 24 hours after buying my car?

btw, the car drives and handles like a dream.. it just wants to go fast. i never had more fun merging onto a highway!

Thats a record. Any picture of how bad the damage is. Someone here broke the handle once, but the car was a couple years old.

fantastic automobile, im really in love with it, its hard to leave it downstairs and look at that door handle though, thinking that it must have been a defect at the factory, im not the incredible hulk... while we're on the topic, the 2010 feels so solid vs my friends 2008 i drove when new.. just feels like the absolute best (and last) iteration of a wonderful line of cars
