Have you tried pressing the center console unlock button while using the door handle to unlock?
I had luck with that and it's been fine for a few months since. |

Yes seems like its the Actuator on its way out I have a similar issue in which i can open the door manually from inside (double pull handle) but cannot be unlocked from outside, key fob or dash button. Took it to a garage and they said its most probably the actuator.

"Hey call me when you get the door open, I'll take care of the rest. " Glad it got resolved though. Honestly I would write a claim to bmw of America to get the labor cost returned to you as it's a design flaw that made you unable to open your door with no way to manually release it and repair it. Unacceptable if you ask me.

Yes that's a high price, my door starting acting up in the summer as well but luckily I was still able to open it up from the inside and outside using the fob and center console unlock button. It only happened a few times then it stopped and works fine now.
