    Front passenger door won't open from inside.

    1985 325e. Like the title says. It opens from the outside, but not the inside. I have taken the handle out and tried pulling the metal rod to see if i could open it but no luck. Recommendations on what to do? If I can fix it at home I would love to, but if I need to take it in to a shop I can.

    I would pull the door card and investigate - It sounds like the inside handle is not connected to the door latch (or the handle is broken where the rod is connected). Is there any rattle when you close the door?

    Its not too difficult - and the parts are available (ebay) and a person with a little mechanical skill should be able to fix - its more about dexterity than anything..
