BMW Repair: 1999 323i, 1999 bmw 323i, bmw 323i


Question
evan i have a 1999 bmw 323i and the locking mechanism pin is broken in the door.  also, i only have the valet key, no remote. i have had this happen a couple times and i have had to brake the rear window twice.  also, the center console button is broke so it wouldnt make sense to wedge the door open.  anything i can do besides braking the window AGAIN?  

Answer
Spencer, If you wedge the door open, can you pull on the inner door handle twice to open the door with a professional lock out tool? Or is the car double locked.
Replace the door lock actuator if it is defective. Order two master keys from the dealer $125 each and replace the center console central lock button $40 All of these repairs would have been cheaper than replacing two door glasses.
