Replacing E36 Door Lock

Door lock is a common problem for aging cars, BMW E36 included. My driver side door does not lock or unlock randomly and I do not want my car to get broken in. Hence I tried my luck with China made door lock actuators. The unit I received did not work but fortunately the seller agreed to resend another. However I did not want to wait for the new unit to arrive and I bought BMW OEM actuator made by VDO.

You probably have to try removing interior door panel slowly. Then deal with the lock from inside

Did this resolve your issue? I think I have same problem, both doors are locked and only the passenger door unlocks for a second then locks again ...

I had the same issue and what I did was removed the door panel then had to drill a hole big enough to pry the acuator out.

What color is that blue in your interior, wow, I have e36 sedan with leather sport interior in full santorini blue (santorinblau), Its not like yours (half is black leather) I have never seen anyone else have blue leather interior in e36. I think it is very rare, at least in europe version e36s. Yours seems to be in very good condition. Mine needs some repainting on the front seats.

The previous owner reupholster the interior. I don’t think it came with blue interior originally. Blue interior E36 is really rare, I haven’t seen one myself, except for my car which isn’t originally blue

@@mengsuan Ok, you can check if it came from the factory like that with VIN decoder in internet. Maybe the previous owner just freshened it ;) Mine is actually individual and I also asked BMWClassic about the color by email. Other than that, your blue looks so much same as mine. And I like that half black design. Very clean too!
