Driver side front door not opening ! (from inside it opens okay) .

[bosanci28]

2003 Bmw X5 4.6is

Out of no where the Door at driver side from will not open anymore, but from inside it opens just fine.

I have open the door cover , and had a quick look inside with a flash light,
and did few tests to see how everything is moving ,the small parts.

The test:
I have locked the x5 with the keys,and then at the latch i pushed the lock into place, now i try to pull the door handle up, and it looks to me that this cable here:


(sorry not my picture,just founded here in the
forum,and just to show,what cable i am talking
about)

So that cable there looks like is too louse ,and when it pulls up from the door
handle ,is not pulling up unlock trigger at the bottom of that cable.

And also the door handle for some reason will not align with the key hole / cover ,the handle
after i let it go it stops 1/8 to 1/4 out ,and i have to like push it in to be flash ...

Any clue what could be?

And is there anyone that had this problem? also what will be the part number for that cable?



Thanks for any advice.


(Don't have the car home , as i was going to look at realoem.com for some schema regarding the exact
part what i am talking about)
