Please read this as it will be helpful. Proceed at your own risk. This is on a production year 05/2000 model e38. Scroll to the notes throughout the video as it is long. Some items to note is order some door panels clips as you will likely break a few as you try to snap the door panel back in - I order a multi-pack many years ago so I had plenty. I broke 4 I believe. Please pull the negative from your battery before you start and remember to wait for the NAV light to turn off before you do! You are working with a side impact airbag, it needs to be removed and there should be no power to this airbag when you do! Also it would be a good idea to replace the cable from the handle to the lock assembly as well because it was somewhat rusted. The hardest part was to insert the crossed bar in the key assembly into the green cross in the lock assembly properly. Had to do it twice because the green insert needed to be turned 90 degrees. This is a long arduous job, so don't use a cheap door lock actuator. It appears the Continental VDO actuator is OEM. This is what I used instead of a cheap one I had ordered. Plus the tight quarters are very hard to work in and some items are hard to reach as well. Hope this video helps.
