    Door won't open

    Hello everybody,
    The rear driver side door on my E65 won't open from the outside or inside, both handles won't do anything and the lock seems to be working.
    Any ideas on how to fix this? and is there a way to take off the door panel?
    Please let me know.

    Thanks!

    Hi. The same thing just happened to my car...same door. Also the handle came off from the outside. Appreciate if you would share any replies or the actual fix. Many thanks.

    I had a problem like this where the driver door would not open

    I found that if I grab the handle (the outside handle) and give it a little twist the door opened, you may see the whole assembly move a little when you twist it
    Hopefully this will solve your issue

    A more "permanent" fix to this problem is way cheaper than one would think

    I believe the plastic has worn away over the years, the stealer answer is to replace the door handle

    mine was a bread bag tag I have had this on my Alpina for about 2 years now without issues

    But I am not sure if this is the will fix the issue you are having

    Take a look at the pics to see what I did
