BMW50 was very patient with me. Back in Late January, he was parting out his X5 and I had messaged him regarding the passenger rear door lock actuator and alarm siren. We exchanged emails, he sent me pics and we agreed on a price. Then, due to unforseen circumstances with my family, I had to use most of my funds on an attorney, and couldn't purchase the items from him. I informed him about what was happening with my family and the reason I was holding off, and he was very understanding.
Fast forward to 2 weeks ago. I was cleaning up my emails and I happened to run across the email thread we had. I emailed him to ask if the parts were still available. To my surprise, he responded: They were still available, and he had boxed them up in his room. A couple email exchanges later, and I had been Paypal invoiced and payment had been made. He shipped it off (from Canada to the US) that same day. The parts arrived Saturday.
I was out of town, but when I got home yesterday afternoon, I reviewed the parts. Pristine condition. I woke up early this morning and installed the alarm siren. Took me less than a minute to screw it in place with the bracket. My alarm now works!
After looking at a video online on how to remove the rear panel, I replaced the actuator a few minutes ago. My rear passenger side door lock now works!
I saved over $600 on parts and labor from a mechanic for these fixes, and for that, I thank BMW50!
