got a 08 330d sport as a hire car at the momnent, and i noticed when you unlock it there are leds on each door handle on the outside
looks mint

can we put these 3 series door handles on our 5 series?

im guessing its just joined to the under door light circuit, and you just need to buy new door handles?

any one tried this

To start see if the 3-series door handle identical w/ our E60 as far as shape & size?

If not you might wanna consider retrofit puddle led light under the mirror instead.

This feature is cool...saw it on my 3 loaner and briefly thought about the same thing. Assuming the handle assembly is a perfect fitment match (which i would venture to guess no) , i would think it's a matter of somehow feeding off the side mirror led's but at that, their may not be enough current to drive all the led's.

handles are very similar i think
without having both cars next to each other i cant 100% compare

How bout a pic showing what you're talking about?

Yea, depending on where the light's located, I dunno how well it would go with the existing puddle lights...might appear redundant and too much. There is such a thing as too much of a good thing...which defines the fine line between "classy" and "everyone else".

Std. on e65's as below.

I just checked the door handles and No, it's not the same and will not work.


You can also compare parts on realoem.com. They are different. :(

Just shove it in there, it will fit :whistle: :ph34r:
