Reinstalling the rubber seal is a bit easier after wiping the back side with a mild soapy solution... a couple drops of Dawn and water mixed will do the trick
I used this video as a guide for my 2014 Dodge Dart Rallye, and the part and connections were almost absolutely the same! Kudos for a video well done! Saved me a lot of money, and I know it was done right!
Thanks for putting up this video man. I've got my new B pillar coming in a week or so and now that I have your vid to reference, I'm pretty sure I won't eff it up. There's nothing better than to see it done rather than reading about how to do it.
Very helpful video. Had to do the same on both sides of my F31 and your video showed me the way. The F-series has 4 screws rather than 3, but that's all. I used a little wash lube to re-seat the rubber, but that was all. Many thanks.
Thank you mate your video have saved me £300 pound. My door trim was damaged and I got bmw to order for me which was about £35 and I ask them to fitted for me and how much Labour you will charge me and they side it will be £135 for one hour I was so angry. Then I want on TH-cam to have a look I saw you video that help me a lot THANK YOU SO MUCH.
As a test I pulled out the window gasket partially to see if I see the screws. It was actually quite easy to do and the rubber was very compliant. I didn't need any tool to push the rubber back in place. Could it be that it seems to take a lot of effort to move the rubber strip around because the rubber has aged and harden? My 328i is one month old.
I hear ya man... I couldn't find anything either, I ended up buying a BMW service manual. I'm no expert, I just like working on my own cars. Just take your time and it should be pretty easy.
OK, I changed the b-piller on my F30 BMW using this exact procedure, with two important modifications: 1, my b-piller, called an appliqué from BMW parts, has four screws instead of three. And the bottom screw is just above the weather strip. To remove the bottom screw I had to pull the rubber trim all the way out from the door. With the trim outside the door the b-pillar becomes extremely easy to remove. 2, I could not put the bottom screw back because it is hidden behind the rubber trim, and such I left it off. But the pillar is wedged in so tight into the door that there is no need.
=) do you know how to code the car for the mirrors to fold? Was your car made before or after 3/2007? I know you need a d-can cable for cars built after that date. I have an 09 and was wondering how to do that may be I should read the forums more lol
what ab the back door, i need to replace the one on back door but really dont know how... Is it will be the same as the front.!? Thanks for the video..
lol I was waiting for this guy to just say "FUCK THIS SHIT MAN !!!" and grab a hammer and beat it down. Boy I wish there was a DIY video that had someone explode like a true human being.
Where did you buy your part? I have a 07 mazda hatch and can't seem to find the part. Only thing that seems to be available is a cover which glues on but that bs. You think you can help? Thanks
I thought you were gonna show us how to replace the entire b pillar itself cause i need to do that. I just reversed my car out of the garage and the front door was open and i kinda crashed the door into a wall so my door pillar got totally bent. Luckily the door hinges or the window didn’t break but the door looks like shit right now. So I think I have to get a new door.
No it does not that's what I was saying with I have the option to buy the folding mirrors and the new door panel with the button, I've seen people do it without having to buy that tho. May be I'll just go that route, seems to be easier to do than coding
Was this a demo instructional or did you purchase an OEM to replace damaged /scraped etc. I didn't see any damage on the one you took off. Just curious why the change out Thanks in advance.

Just after fitting the panel there, found the clip extremely useful, cheers bro

Thanks, I used this video as a guide on my 2010 328i. The only difference was there was only two screws. Took about 15 mins.

pflau1 you have to watch out for vibration issues to avoid it becoming loose.
William Flynn It's a year and 20000 miles later and there is no issue.
COOL
+pflau1 request video if convenient
+... abc I already changed it 15 months ago what is there to video? 28,000 miles now and it's all good.
Thanks mate, very helpful, exactly what I needed to know. I like the look of your rims what are they?
Thank you very much I’m going to paint them gloss!
Thanks for that video :)
great video, thanks
awsome video man, bmw wanted to chrge me 75 per pillar plus 500 labour to have front 2 done
I just ordered a rear window pillar for my E90, hopefully it's pretty much the same procedure?
Do you know if these oem pillars can be vinyl wrapped?
=) do you know how to code the car for the mirrors to fold? Was your car made before or after 3/2007? I know you need a d-can cable for cars built after that date. I have an 09 and was wondering how to do that may be I should read the forums more lol
Hey Bees... did you replace the rear one as well ? Wondering if it's just as simple but flipped ?
what ab the back door, i need to replace the one on back door but really dont know how... Is it will be the same as the front.!?
Thanks for the video..
Does your car have the mirror button inside on the door panel ?
lol I was waiting for this guy to just say "FUCK THIS SHIT MAN !!!" and grab a hammer and beat it down. Boy I wish there was a DIY video that had someone explode like a true human being.
Where did you buy your part? I have a 07 mazda hatch and can't seem to find the part. Only thing that seems to be available is a cover which glues on but that bs.
You think you can help?
Thanks
Thank u
Well hello beautiful !! haha... glad I could help.
e46 / e90 Is this process for the e90 the same as the e46?
Great! It is wat that I find!
Good question.... let me check it out and I will get back to you.
I thought you were gonna show us how to replace the entire b pillar itself cause i need to do that.
I just reversed my car out of the garage and the front door was open and i kinda crashed the door into a wall so my door pillar got totally bent. Luckily the door hinges or the window didn’t break but the door looks like shit right now. So I think I have to get a new door.
How do you remove the small exterior C pillar?
I'm pretty sure your car already has the option programmed. You just hold the lock button down on your remote and the mirrors should close.
If you mean the one located on the front of the back door, it should be mounted the same way.
I walked into my local BMW dealer parts dept and simply asked for the pilars for the front doors. Counter guy looked it up and ordered them.
I tried contacting bmw dealership to order a replacement. It costs $181 as the guy said. How did you get it for $27? Please let me know. Thanks!
Use washing up liquid on the rubber to ease the friction.
didnt even know this was possible lol gonna take out mine and plastidip them black
Can you help me with the part number? Can't find these pillars anywhere for my 2007 328i
Best
Are the rears the same procedure??? 🤔
Where did you buy it thous pills?
Where did you get your b pillar from?
From the BMW Dealership - Parts department
No it does not that's what I was saying with I have the option to buy the folding mirrors and the new door panel with the button, I've seen people do it without having to buy that tho. May be I'll just go that route, seems to be easier to do than coding
I had to order my part from the bmw dealer.
The option for my card is standard in Europe but not in the US*
Was this a demo instructional or did you purchase an OEM to replace damaged /scraped etc. I didn't see any damage on the one you took off. Just curious why the change out Thanks in advance.
I changed it because it had a cosmetic blemish. and Yes I purchased a new replacement from the BMW dealer.
+BEESGARAGE
k nice vid
B pillar? I thought that piece is called an applique?
Applique is the name of the trim mounted to the B pillar. B pillar is the structural part of the door.
I've tried, it doesn't I know I have the option of buying the actual folding mirrors and blah blah blah, I rather just code it...
do you need adhesive to reattach rubber trim to b-pillar.
William Flynn No adhesive necessary.
THANK YOU
