My passenger door will not unlock and the door will not open at all with the button inside or the fob I've checked the fuses none of which are blown any ideas on how I can get the door open or any ideas as to what is wrong.

Thanks in advance

Door catch motor has probably failed with the deadlock still on.You will have to strip door in place to get to the control rods.

Had a look today got the trim of right bastard with not been able to open the door. Had a look and abit of poke around still didn't get the door open Going to have to take it to the dealer tomorrow and get ripped off May look into a M235i get a car with some warranty on again lol

It's tricky but can be done there's a small lever that the motor attaches to , you need to click it up( easier said than done right enough)!

Got the door fixed today something to do with the cable and the mechanism needed adjusting so it didn't break the bank to much lol

Thanks KrisM79 for the advice

Now THIS is why people need to learn how double-pull the door handle.

I understand what you're saying and what happened, but I'm referring to the fact that you need to double-pull a locked door, but there are people who act like our Bimmers are trying to imprison them and either pull harder on the door handle (which might be anecdotal evidence that may be the issue), or try to but their way out as if it was an '82 Ford with frame damage.
