Hi all, My X5 door handle won't work from the outside. I think my mom pulled too hard the other day, and now it only open from the inside. The motors and locks all work fine.

I just can't open it from the outside. I opened up the door and found that the cable is a bit loose. Check the attached pictures.

Will be very thankful to anyone who can provide the smallest help/advice. I'm ready to fix it myself, unless it's a big and expensive job. Thank in advance. Model: X5 3.0i Year: 2001 - Bikram Picture 1 (Door) - Picture 2 (Cable) - Picture 3 (Close up of loose cable). This is a common problem with the X5. I have replaced two of these in the 75,000 miles I have owned it. One apparently was replaced under warranty with the previous owner.

The assembly is about $98 delivered, I think ECS has the best price, but Pelican and BavAuto are not far off either. It is a little tricky to replace, but not hard if you are handy with tools. I was able to do it with a basic tool kit that I keep in my camper. See: Good Luck! Check those window clips while you are in there and BE CAREFUL WITH THE AIRBAGS!

Blow your damn head off. Taking decade-old BMWs to a dealer is just stupid. If you just bothered to Google it, you would have found my instructions online at: An independent mechanic can do this for about $300 or less.

The part is $95. Widi 4 0 Keygen Free. Dealers are for warranty work, period.

Once out of warranty, avoid them. This is a common problem with the X5 and the E46, I believe, which shares a similar mechanism. I have done both front doors. The first one took me a couple of hours. The second one took less than an hour. Order spare door clips when you order the part, as you will break some removing the door panel.

Had the same problem. Repaired by dealer at a cost of $400. I have used non-dealer mechanics on my X5 and found the following: 1. 4 wheel alignment: Had to bring vehicle back because they didn't tighten something enough on the front axle. Although mechanic used Brembo rotors (good quality) the painted surface near the hub rusts more easily than the replacement rotor used by BMW dealer. Not saying dealers don't charge a lot-- but they do use quality parts and tend to fix issues correctly the first time. Had the same problem.

Most early X5's are worth less than $10,000 by now, some far less. Many are trading in the $6000 to $8000 range. Not much demand for 200,000 mile 15-year-old cars, no matter if they are BMWs or how well taken care of they are (and most were not - the X5 does not attract the enthusiast buyer as much). Spending $400 to repair a door handle on a $8000 car is not really cost-effective, particularly when more than one breaks (and they will). Most owners get fatigued by these small repairs, which, over time can add up to a lot of dough.

At this point, I would say that if you are not handy with tools, it might be time to pack it in. Even an independent mechanic will be a nightmare of repair costs for a car this old and this depreciated.

These cars are reaching the shade-tree D-I-Y mechanic stage. In a way, it is the fun part. It is not hard to do the door handle replacement (I've done it twice, it is a typical repair) and the part is about $96 including shipping.

I had the pix posted on Webshots, but they sold the site and then re-ordered the photos to try to be like some twitter-based site. All the captions and instructions were lost.

But it is not all that hard to do. As for the rotors, even the 'factory' ones rust over time, as mine did. The aftermarket rust faster, but both rust.

Before installing the caliper, spray the hat with silver hi-temp spray, after sanding the hat lightly. This avoids getting spray on the rotor itself.
