Door handle fell off

[Boogle]

So I opened up the door and the handle felt a little loose. Pull the door open again and, well, pulled the handle clean out of the door:

I've kind of slotted the handle back in, but it's clearly not attached to anything substantial. Anyone have a guide on how I put it back together properly?

FYI for anyone suffering the same prob - something was broken and BMW had to replace the handle. All fixed under AUC warranty

I'm guessing by the lack of replies that this is not a common issue!! glad you got it sorted

Hi Boogle,
I had the same problem,after two weeks of ownership my handle just dropped off ,there is a slider bar which holds the handle in placed ,accessed through a little hole in the end of the door,but its difficult to fix ,need a special tool to push/pull to locate.
In the end i simply stuck it back with clear silicone sealant,not very proffessional,but after 8000mls its still there
My zed came with a BMW APPROVED CAR WARRANTY,and of course it wasnt covered
despite lots of arguements with the dealer /warranty,they refuse to fix it.
