I have a 1 month old 2009 X5, and today I couldn't get into my vehicle. The outside handle and inside handle both fail to open the door. Has anybody experienced this? The whole assembly always felt a little cheap/fragile to me, but I never expected it to actually break.

Second, is there an easy fix to this that could save me a trip to the service dept? I've already made an appointment for next Tuesday, but maybe there's something simple I can do to be able to open my door again. It is not easy getting in from the passenger side!
