The linkage inside the door for the handle either broke or sliped off,you have to take the door panel off to see it and fix it.

1996 BMW 740il bonnet will not open on driver's side, have replaced cable for the bonnet, help

REMOVE THE FRONT KIDNEY EMBLEM, GET A DENTAL HOOK FROM HARBOR FREIGHT, AND TUG ON THE OPEN SPOT WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE ACTUAL CABLE, THIS WILL ACTIVATE THE LATCH TO OPEN. GO TO THE JUNKYARD TO PRACTICE ON AN ALREADY OPEN ONE SO YOU KNOW WHERE IT IS.

BMW '98 740i: When it rains water puddles on drivers floor. What are possible causes and fixes? Are there any related videos?

The sunroof drain hole on the drivers side could possibly be clogged up, allowing water to overflow and drain down the inside of the windshield post and onto the drivers side floor. Have that checked first since it's quite easy to see, with the sunroof opened all the way.

I have a 1994 740i, the battery is dead and I can not unlock the doors with the key, I can do so with the trunk, but not the doors. Your assistance will be very much appreciated.

Put the key in the driver's door and while lifting up, turn the key. You may need to jiggle the handle and key a little but it should open.
