Right i had this ***** of a problem 2nd week in jan 2010. a bmw mechanic told to jack car up at front and hook a jumper pack up to live on starter motor terminal and then earth, was quite hard to put croc clip on to starter but did manage it. this was supposed to back charge to battery to get enough power to open car with remote, in theory it should of worked but i gave up after 3 hours-no power. so i got my key put it in drivers door and mechanically turned to open position, then i got a cutlery knife from kitchen and wrapped some insulation tape around tip up 2-3 inches. then i pushed this down glass directly above door handle key end to pry a gap between glass and rubber just enough to slide coat hanger wire in with small hook on end then i manouvered wire hook until i hooked latch arm which i did within 1 minute pulled coathanger wire up and pulled door handle the door opened much to my delight. this was a major sigh of relief after trying for 2 days to get in, and many hours searching the net for a solution which i couldnt find. THIS WORKS 100 percent WITH ABSOLUTELY NO DAMAGE!!!!!!! any questions email me- [email protected]

2001 BMW X5 e53 left side front and rear doors will not unlock from inside or outside or with central lock switch.

On a 2001, and because it is only on one side of the vehicle, and because it is the drivers side only, my guess is that the wire that goes from the driver's door to the door frame is damaged. The best course of action would be to take it to an auto electrician for diagnosis with their pro grade scan tool computer. There are some other theories in the link.

Bmw 2004 doors wont unlock

Could be a few things. Do they unlock from the central locking switch in the car? Close all the doors first then push the button. Do they unlock with the key remote? Does the drivers door unlock when the key is inserted? If they don't work at all check the fuse in the trunk area on the right side. There is a panel that pulls down and reveals 5-10 fuses.

We have a BMW x5 2002 and its powered door locks won't open or lock with the keys or the inside button on the console. The windshield wipers in the front or back won't. We had the fuse checked so its not a...

Check fuses again this time with a test light, both sides of fuse should light with key turned to on check all fuses not just the one.make sure you check fuses under hood if applicable and in passenger compartment. If you have never used keys in locks they may need to be lubercated.

My bmw x5 door handle will not open even the door is unlocked,i can't get to the other door because they are locked.

How did you get the driver's door unlocked. Your other doors should unlock by hitting your key fob button twice. Sounds like the door handle came disconnected or broken.
