Resumane I can vouch for shogun's gaskets. They are top quality, perfect fit and great price. Once I worked out how to do the first it only took 5 minutes to finish the rest. Made a huge difference to the handles operation as well.
You won't go wrong using any of shoguns products!

Just got mine installed, they fit perfect! Erich is a great seller.
Received my gaskets today, thank you again!
Just got them. That was quick! Vielen Dank!
muchas gracias!
Thanks, already sent out to GA by airmail.
Here instructions how to for the Z3:
Here is the port to access the push plate, on the passenger side door:

Remove with a knife. You can see that I really mangled the plastic trying to use a little flathead screwdriver before I got out the knife. It looks like you can get under the tabs and pop this piece off easily, but mine required a lot more force than I expected. Don't scratch up your trim! On the driver's side, I used just the knife and it came out cleanly.

Open! The plate that releases the door handle surround is on the right (outer) side in this hole. Reverse that for the driver's side. A flashlight really helps here.

I used an allen wrench for the "push" part of the job:

Now you can remove the trim piece, and clean out the gunk while you're in there.

Here's a fancy tool I made for pulling the plate back after adding the new gasket! The latch has a lip that is open on its left and bottom sides (right and bottom on the driver's side door). Again, use a flashlight.

All done. Before & after shots:

This is probably the perfect tool for removing the handle cover - a paint can opener. It can do both the "push" and "pull" parts of the job.

Just thought I'd bump this thread to say what a fantastic service & product from Erich here. Received my package this week and just finished fitting to E32 740iL and looks like new. Fitted perfectly first time, no stretching, heating, pulling etc. to fit properly, just went straight on easy as. Longest part of the job was cleaning all the crap off the paintwork before being able to reattach the handle surrounds with the new gaskets. Take away the cleaning part and I'd say if all four handles take longer than 10 minutes total to do, then you aren't following the instructions properly.
Thanks Erich for a great product BMW themselves don't provide (alone as a separate piece) and for the prompt posting.
Super!!! Great service and a great product from Erich. 3 weeks delivery to Caribbean but well worth the wait. I'm amazed at the quality of the product. Thanks.
Installed my new gaskets today. No complaints here.
Got my gaskets for my 318ti today. Put his product on my E34 a while back and and recently acquired the little E36 that neede 'em too. Erich, I hope your makin' enough $$$ to keep it up. Thanks for your efforts! Great Product! Steve
Awesome product, shipping was quick, too...can't wait to put them on!
Erich,
I installed the door handle gaskets on my 97 M3 sedan last night. Parts fit perfect and they were easy to install. I just ordered another set today for my 98 M3. Great product and seller!!!
HELPFUL HINT: The tool you get when you buy paint to open paint cans works perfectly to pull the tab inside the door back out to secure the handle trim piece.

Just wanted to say thanks again Shogun. Great product and a great seller. Took me about 45 mins to replace and clean all 4 handles on my e36.

I just wanted to give a recommendation for seller Shogun. His products are fantastic and he is a pleasure to work with. I've ordered and replaced a set on an e34, and just ordered a set for an M roadster.
Thanks Shogun!
