Hi, recently I have a problem with my door. Each time I lock or unlock my doors, the pin rattles quickly and end up in the lock position for the majority of the times. Anyways, after a few research, I came accross that it could be the actuator.. ?

So is it something easy to do it by my self ? and what would I need to do that ?

Here is a video of the problem.

Thank you

Did they fit your F30, looks like it's for E90's. That's also what the reprensetative told me few minutes ago on the live chat with FCP..

where do you guyz recommand me to buy my door actuator, do you have a link? the cheaper, the better. From my research, I found that the part number is 51217229461 from realOEM.

Some people also say that 51217202143 can fit.
