Not sure what code your car is. 220?

After some research I've found the following:

There are about seven bolts and numerous plastic clips which hold the door card on.

3 bolts reside under the trim strip which runs along the top of the seat control switches on the door.

Up to VIN 220 316716 there's a fourth bolt behind the door release lever trim.

Post VIN 220 316717 the fourth bolt is under a trim piece running down the door handle where it meets the section containing the seat controls.

Removing these bolts will allow you to disconnect and remove the seat switch panel. Move it towards the door hinge as you gently pull it away.

A fifth bolt resides at the other end of the door handle.

The sixth is on the lock cover, remove this and the trim piece that it holds.

The seventh bolt resides behind a small cover in the trim above the door arm rest/handle about level with the door lock and at that end of the trim piece.

The door card is now held in place by a few clips. Gentrly prise off the edge from the door, starting at the bottom. The card must be lifted up and away from the door in order to unclip it from the sealing strip at the window glass.

I hope that helps.
