Was in a 3-car rear-ender on Feb 1st. Traffic stopped so I stopped, the guy behind me stopped but the 3rd car didn't. Took the car to Denville BMW's body shop which is part of Gearhart Chevy in Denville, NJ. Gotta say they did a great job when it comes to fit and finish. They had to replace the hatch, rear bumper, bumper support, etc. Car really looks great and they are a good group of people. The only problem has to do with the hatch, what's wrong with this picture? I mean, what is this part off of???

Maybe they didn't know the handlepiece was supposed to be chrome and just painted it the same color as the body?
I don't know. But it doesnt look so bad I guess.

Huh, they got you the '99-'00 Z3 Coupe hatch handle. The '01-'02 handle is completely chrome and is much longer. It's easy to change the handle which I did on my '00 Coupe.

They are getting me the larger chrome one and will replace it when it comes in, just don't know when I can get them the car again. I was wondering what it would be like to replace it myself. Is it as "simple" as removing the two interior screws by the hatch handle then carefully removing the upholstery clips to gain access?

Can someone show me the diff between 99-00 trunk handles and the 01-02 ones?
I was thinking about converting my M Coupe trunklid to the Z3 one, would it be a direct fit? Also, could I squeeze a US license plate under the chrome handle properly?
