Any one out there?

Thanks

Uh...Uh oh... If you can't open the door from inside or outside you have a problem... The door needs to be opened to replace the carrier and anything else involved... this has happened to a couple members. Now you have no other options but to take it to the dealer. They had to break the door open to get it open. Then the guy had to pay for all the parts that broke with the door and hinges.. If there is a way to get it open without breaking the door, the dealer will know how. But honestly the chances aren't good.. That is why when these door handle carriers break, or when this type of problem happens, you only have a limited amount of time before you can not open the door from inside either... Guys, get this stuff fixed before its too late and you'll be spending major $$$ paying for a broken door getting replaced...

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your comments. I actually use a mechanic who works for a main bmw dealer, I have used him previously.
I will book with him, as he is cheaper. I will keep you posted on the outcome.

Thanks
