jjs 64 Report post Posted September 28, 2008 The drivers door on my E36 coupe is not opening from the outside. It started off as an intermittent problem, but now won't work at all. The door can still be opened from the inside with no problems. It feels like the handle is connected to nothing. Has anyone had a similar problem / have an indication of what the problem could be? Thanks in advance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
