E90 Drivers Door Won't Lock

[abmi0000]

I also had a strange squeaking sound every time I locked the car. After locking and unlocking the car a few times and listening for the location of the sound, I found that it came from the fuel filler door lock. Strangely enough it sorted itself out and I don't hear that sound anymore. I drive the LCI.

They often squeal when passing through the slot. Some lube and you're sorted. :biglol:

Really really!!! :rollsmile:

Had that same problem with a girl at tech............ it helped................:fencelook:

Q20?

More like lunchtime start ups, while the owner is at class, and making sure it runs fine. You know like a proper mechanic should.

Good thing I could run fast.:flyfun:

Is what we do besssst! :rollsmile:

Never thought about the filler lock, and it was from this general area! :flyfun:
Well, hasn't been making any noises for a while, maybe they 'ky'ed' my car during that last service, but seems to have taken a while to assist in the "slip'n'slide"... :fencelook:

I think best is to take her home then........, ag sorry:fencelook:

I meant to say, best is to see if you can get the acurators from anyone but the dealers if your dad's car is out of MP, dealers probably pricey.

Check fuse. That dies before actuator fails completely.

Yep it usually first blows the fuse.

I have a pre LCI E90 and I don't have any door issues, but I cannot open the boot using the button on the key fob, nor from inside the car. The boot lock switch in the cubby is set to unlock . Could this also be the actuator?

Yes it could be, i would think the boot and doors work in the same manner.
So check fuses and then the boot actuator.

:bump: this happened to me on friday non of the doors were opening couldn't open my fuel cap either had to miss the ice cream run :argh:. On saturday i change fuse on 56 and got the passenger doors open :joy: but the drivers door still wouldn't, which was cool cause it opened with the physical key. taking it to BMW rivonia on Wednesday its also due for a service so i get to kill 2 brds with one stone. just hope it doesnt cost an arm and a leg.

It was such a stupid problem to have and boy oh boy what an inconvenience.
