Embarrasing experience. The driver side door won't open.
It was so embarrasing... lol It happened before and BMW fixed it a couple of weeks ago, but the issue just came back. S***!

Definitely a safety issue more than an embarrassment. Hope you are never in a panic situation where you have to get out of the car immediately.
I would mention that to BMW (dealer or Corporate) and demand that it be fixed - immediately and correctly.

This has been a recurring problem since the very first X5s. The fancy electrical locking system hangs and won't unlock the doors. I only had it happen a few times in the 8+ years we had our 2001 X5. In ALL cases I was able to get the door to unlock by using the key fob or the central locking button to lock and then unlock the doors. YMMV

you guys are right. It's absolutely a safety issue..
you know like in the movie, you get into an accident, there's a fire around the car but the door doesn't (NEVER) open...you can't get out.. and car explodes and you die...lol I'm gonna call BMW customer service. I didn't like service quality when they fixed the door last time, either. A front cupholder was FULL of COFFEE when I was picking up the car. They cleaned that up before I left the service center, but still I don't really feel great.. Now the car makes me even crazier!!

Nothing worked out. I tried the outside handle, the remote control, and central locking button.... None of it works..
Even though the the locking button(you know the little thing on the door - when you lock/unlock the door, it goes down/up accordingly) is at up-positon, the door won't open. So weird... Thanks for advices anyway.

This happened to me today, outside handle, key FOB nothing worked. The lock pin pops up and that's it. I had to jump over through the passenger seat. I don't know if this has anything to the fact this is the coldest day of the year.
Hopefully it will open when I get back into it later today, otherwise, I will have to figure out how to fix this.....any ideas?
