Most body side moldings are applied with double-sided tape. Easiest way to remove them is by using nylon fishing line to carefully "saw" through it. Then use an adhesive remover [like goo be gone] to get rid of the residue.

THERE ARE NO HOLES IN BMW DOORS FOR BODY SIDE MOLDINGS! Another way is to find who ever you bought the car from and ask them who put the BSMs on and they might remember how the install was done.
