Replacing the card holder with a grab handle is the EASIEST mod ever. Takes all of 30 seconds to do.

What exactly is the point of having a grab handle on the driver's side? During a high speed turn, are you going to take a hand off the wheel and grab on to the handle? Or is it just for asthetic reasons?

Absolutely love the bottle holders in the door. For us big water drinkers they are just perfect.

Didn't that other G forumn "6speed.net" or something like that have a DIY on how to order the right handle and just simply replace...where is that link!? I know I saved it somewhere...anyone know that site?

BTW..

What is "ESCRUTCHEON PART" and this talk about the key hole"

You can do the same thing with the keyhole - escrutcheon part too on the exterior of the vehicle. Regards, Bunnone

Isn't it for getting out of the car?

I did that Colin, both on my '04 and the '05, tried to take the one off the '04, but the mounting bolts wouldn't come out, so bought a new one. Takes two minutes! Replace Card Holder w/grab handle

Simply looks better, and nobody ever asks the stupid question "what is that thing over your door" anymore.

I just toss parking stubs and toll tickets up there. I thought that was what it was for.

i still think replacing it with a grab handle is pointless too... where are the drivers hands going to be while doing a turn?? lol

i also think the card holder is pointless at least for me cuz i hardly get into parking spots and whenever i do I automatically leave them on the dashboard.

my point is, save the money on the grab handle and use it up on gas! lol

edit: ooppss, i didnt read ck700's response, says the same thing i do lol

It just looks better and more symmetrical with the other side. The M45 has grab handles on both sides too.
