Very nice video, I replaced my actuator looking at this but now the exterior door handle doesn't open the door. I noticed pulling the exterior door handle doesn't pull the white cable u showed in the video ..any suggestions on how I can go about triaging and fixing this? I have a 2012 bmw 328i
Hi, my passenger side door doesnt open from outside, but opens from inside, please could you kindly advise the name of the part that would need replacing? I have a bmw 3 series f30. Thanks
My cable snapped just like in the vid. This is really fiddly to do: 1 - the mirror/window controller has a clip on the thinner side, pry with a tool and then push the clip 2 - the assembly is held by the screw under the door handle 3 - refitting the outer door handle is a nightmare. First make sure the alignment is correct and the barrel lock can be screwed back in as its hard to get the angle for the screw correct. Then remove it and fit the handle first, it needs to latch so u need to pull the connector outwards, either a hook or a long screw driver from the hole from the inside of the door (look up at an angle through key hole) can be used to push/pull it open and then slide in the door handle. This is really difficult 4 - refitting the connector for windows, make sure its seated
Yes, looking at the other vids its held in by those bolts (Edit): there is a single screw behind the outer door handle that holds the bracket. Once removed, the whole device can be removed by unclipping the bowden cable. You do not need to undo the three bolts and take out the whole lock assembly.
Hi did you find the part number for the drivers side cable on your 1 series. I need the same for a 2014 model. If you have the part number that would be great
Try to open the windows with the remote control and then the door from the inside, if it doesn't work, see that I have a video on my channel on how to open the E90 door if it's locked. Success
I have bmw f30 on drivers side it won’t open from outside it feels like it doesn’t have resistance, I’m guessing it’s because of this, the only thing I have to say about the video is take out the music and walk us through every step, and another is idk where the other cable goes u didn’t show us the inside and where it’s going to go, otherwise nice video
@@Iceyo0307deathboy yeah it was the outer door handle cable, the video helped a lot, once I took it out I learned how the mechanism worked so it started to make sense and get easier 👍🏼
@@RandomVidz9_Hi, I have exactly the same problem as yourself, it won't open from outside, where would you kindly advise to buy this part from and how much does it cost roughly? Is it just called outer door handle cable? Is anomy other part needed ? Thanks

@@Faris0802 to confirm it’s the cable pull on the handle if there’s no resistance then it’s the cable, buy the part from fcp euro it’s only $28 and make sure it fits ur car model, yes it’s called the outer door handle cable, and no other part is need except for the tools to remove the door panel and etc… very easy procedure good luck
this is doable but not as easy as shown in the video, especially getting old cable out was pain in the .ss, job done in aprox. 2h

Why does my outer door handle look like it’s trying to pop out when I reinstall it?
Thank you, very helpful!
You are the best 👍❤️👌
Do you have to remove the door lock (3 bolts) to get the cable carrier out?
Yes, looking at the other vids its held in by those bolts
(Edit): there is a single screw behind the outer door handle that holds the bracket. Once removed, the whole device can be removed by unclipping the bowden cable. You do not need to undo the three bolts and take out the whole lock assembly.
1 more door fixed today :D TY
Good job
Do you happen to have a link for the part?
I have a BMW 1 Series F21 and the driver’s side cable snapped.
Hi did you find the part number for the drivers side cable on your 1 series. I need the same for a 2014 model. If you have the part number that would be great
Why problems
Sir actually am now changing this cable ok 5or10 time ok open and close but now no open door stuck the lock not working in ya outer handle 🙁
Try to open the windows with the remote control and then the door from the inside, if it doesn't work, see that I have a video on my channel on how to open the E90 door if it's locked. Success
Mostly helpful but you skipped the whole part I've taking the other end of that cable
