door handle replacement on the f56 takes MAYBE 15 minutes total.
The fuel cap just twists off and takes about 10 seconds to replace.

The gas cap inner ring pops off and you can then remove the cap. Details are on this site under reference-complete repair manual with photos and procedures. I just replaced the door handles last week-wife had a problem with button on passenger side with the covers. The door handle covers also have an "edge" where you need to grip. Yea, the took less than 15 minutes to change. I would cover the gas cap-have one on for 4 years and no problems. If you do not want shiny, Krylon or Rust-o-leum satin black for plastic works great.

Did the handles w/ comfort entry and yeah, they take maybe 10 minutes a door and that's kinda pushing it. Once you get the knack of pulling the locking mechanism with a string and slipping the handle back in it's a breeze. I wish all mods were that easy. The gas cap is similarly easy - not even 2 minutes. Just push a tab on the inside of the cap and twist the outer cap. It pops right off. The Mini Vlog on YouTube did a short video on it when he removed his to wrap it. These two mods are so easy to do I wouldn't bother with the stick on ones. Might as well do the OEM ones since it'll take you just as long to put them on. They'll also fit 100% while the covers have some QC issues where sometimes they don't cover the OEM part all the way so chrome is still visible.

BMW discount parts is a good source for the west of US. They go to the BMW port of entry location everyday, ship that or the next day, and they are way under list price. Door handles:
51712457410, 51712457413. If you do not have comfort access or lighting, just do not connect wiring. You can call them on the cap #.
51712457410, 51712457413. If you do not have comfort access or lighting, just do not connect wiring. You can call them on the cap #.

Oh yes! Ordered the blackline badges from ECS and just changed the gas cap and door handles last night, my 1st mod!
Couldn't believe I didn't have any string in my garage but fishing line and twine, ending up using the thick twine. First handle was a pain but once I figured it out, second side was much easier. And to think I was going to pay the dealer to do it, geesh.

@kfmuller - how much did the OEM parts/installation run you? Looks awesome and am looking to do it myself. Thanks!
the gas cap pops off in seconds

Badges are easy diy

the door handles are a bit harder as you need to have someone that's done it before as they can do it in 15min, but not having done it will take some time
