My E46 Door Lock is acting up. When I go place my key into the door lock it will unlock and unlock the drivers side door only which means when I open it I have to rush to turn my key in the ignition to turn the alarm off. It’s hit or miss when unlocking and locking my car as some times it will...

Hi all, I have a 2003 330CiC. The passenger door will not open from the outside. The lock actuator appears to work, as the lock button goes up and down when the central locking system is activated. We can open the door from the inside, but needless to say it is a hassle when there is no...

I''ve got a 2003 325i sedan and this morning when I went to open the driver's door with the key, there was an unusual click and now the key rotates left and right in the cylinder but it doesn't open the door any more. Apparently, a washer in the lock mechanism cracked (which not uncommon I've...
