Hello, I have bmw x5 e53 year 2004. Problem is my drivers door wont open from inside and outside.
My drivers doors hasn't closed with central locking for years, other doors close with central locking, I usually closed door manually with key. But few weeks ago due to cold my drivers door cylinder lock broke and did not close or open door when turning key, so I closed door by pushing the lock pin down from back seat and opened door from lock inside.
Today my car doesnt open any way, I can't open it from inside and outside, tried to pull the lock pin up, but it goes back down when releasing it, everything seems to work properly, but door doesnt open, I think it is because lock pin doesnt come up. Luckily I got the door panel off, but still cant figure out what is wrong, lubricated all moving parts, let the car stay in warm, but nothing works. Tried to do as it said in that thread

Does anyone know how can I replace the actuator with door closed, is it possible, or is there any other way I can get the door open? PLEASE HELP
