Good day!

What exactly isn't it doing? No resistance when pulling on the handle? Is the handle completely broken and missing? A picture of your issue would prove helpful... there is a lever behind the plastic that swings down to release the locks... if you do get it open and need to replace the handle assembly, you can pull your lock cylinder out of it and pull one from any E46, E9x, E39, E85, or E53... very common item!

Good luck and let us know how it works out!

Cheers!

Since you are ready to lite the truck on fire just break the son of a bitch glove box door. You may feel better afterward.

It sounds like it's just locked! Try unlocking it! If that doesn't work, you may really need to break into it...

Cheers!
