  1. BMW 5 Series - Tech Talk For All Gen Of 5 Series

    I've just picked up a 2016 6 series (f12) and when I got home I noticed the chrome trim on the drivers grab / door handle is missing. Anyone know where I could get a replacement? It looks like it probably just clips on. Any ideas? Thanks Matt
