Bad lock actuators
I'm out of warranty on my 2014 F31.
Has anyone tried the cheaper door lock actuator in a non-alarm equipped car? I still don't understand the enormous price difference for NOT having an alarm on the car. The difference, as best I can tell, is that the alarm version has the deadbolt feature in which a door locked with the remote cannot be manually opened if you broke or, reached through, the window. I'm fine with this functionality on my non-alarm equipped car... if they otherwise work. The part numbers are 51217202146 ($49 or $66 for right and left purchased together!) for the alarm equipped car (at FCPeuro.com), and 51217229458 ($215) for the non alarm version. If I have to spend $430 on the actuators, just to get my locks working properly, I might as well retrofit the alarm for $180-$220 (per this forum) and buy the $66 two pack of actuators and come out ahead! |

You can find a lot of different prices on the 51217202146 and the 51217229458. The best I found on the 458 was $45 on AliExpress. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Fron...866126823.html
Oddly enough RealOEM shows both of them for around $175. |

What's weird is: I got a quote from the dealership and the paper they gave me says part number 51217229458, but when I go to various websites (like fcpeuro) it's telling me the fitment for my car is the 51217202146. |
