New E90 3-series have problems with door lock actuators failing, and blowing a fuse #57 or 61. Depending on model. Older E46 3-series cars have problems with body control units failing. You say you can't open the doorrs from the inside or outside, so I'd suggest this is a LITTLE MORE than just a remote key not working. So feel free to ignore.

Hiya the central locking on the rear passenger door wont work on my 1999 E39 530d. It is stuck open and wont lock or unlock unless i manually push the plunger down. The deadlocking does not work either? All other electrics in the door are fine? Any ideas on how to remove the door.

there is a black plastic actuator that sits on top of the locking mechanisim. this is easily removed from the lock. i opened this unit up and found the problem. there is a mechanisim which slides over a switch. over time the plastic mechanisim is worn down by the switch rubbing back and forth over it, hence the switch is no longer pressed because of wear. (its all plastic in there!!) however i have ordered a new actuator at a cost of 40 pounds which should sort the locking out!!.

the door card was very easy to get off. gently prize out window switch and disconnect. remove small screw behind door handle. and then gently work your way around the bottom of the pannel prizing out the plastic bolts which are attached to the card. next push through the door handle. the top part of the door is also removed the same way except these are metal holders!/....... once that is out peel back waterproof membrane.

the lock can now be removed. remove the wiring from the lock. this is done by pulling down on a bit of plastic and then the wiring should come out.. next disconnect the outside door pull. ( this just unclips of the holder. next remove 3 screws on the back of the lock ('star') bolts?!?!? the lock should now drop and come out. the plastic actuator box is then easily prizwed off and a new one can now be fitted!!.....
