    I swapped mine for a CF JCW handle, and all I can remember are the 4 torx screws... Undo them and tug.

    yeah then there is some white glue or something. Make sure you have a towel near by.

    I was about to suggest picking up a Bentley or Haynes manual (not just for this, you'll go back to it for other things) but I don't think I've seen anything like that for R56 yet. Am I wrong? Anyone found an R56 service type manual yet?

    Oh No.............. Someone at the MINI plant used water tank silicone instead of auto grade.
