Hello. I have a 2004 e53 and it’s nearside front passenger door will not open from the outside and inside, the locking button raises and falls as you would expect in normal operation. I don’t see how you can remove the internal door panel without opening the door, I’ve been told it may be a fuse problem, any help/ advice most welcome, thank you . Happy to be sent info to the following e.mail.. Andrew-peplow@ sky.com

This worked for me but it took me god knows how many try's to do it lol.
Also the bowden cable had come off on my car the one in pictures numbered A and B and that was my problem.

Yep that's the method. I had to do my driver door twice a few years ago and I still keep the 'tool' in the glove box just in case.
