Well, I answered my own question. Yes it does. See pics.
One other thing. The white cover in the picture, which the screwdriver is pointing too, did not come on my new unit. So, I'm going to move it to the new unit. Just fyi..Don't know if it has to be there but don't overlook this white cover just in case.

So if my door does not UNLOCK (ONLY) via FOB and dash switch, but opens via key and still LOCKS, then that still requires replacing the entire latch?
It's no where near $35 only; it's at least $105 via ECS Tuning and BMW Parts Pros (not including any shipping and applicable sales tax/handling).

Huh? Not sure what is working or not but the key will always work when this lock unit goes bad. It won't work with the FOB or dash button. Yes, you need to buy the entire unit. If you're saying the FOB does lock but does not unlock or vise versa its not fully crapped out yet.It will crap out all a round.

And just want to confirm that it's the latch before I place the order.

Just finished doing both front doors in mine a few minutes ago. The guide was great. Total time ~2 hours. Biggest pain was that I didn't know that there was an additional torx screw under the passenger door handle . I was able to get the old actuators out with the windows rolled all the way up and unscrewing the two 10mm bolts from the black metal window guide. Also, there are actuators on Amazon $100 for both sides if anyone needs them.

Has anyone bought a true, genuine BMW door latch, such as from a local dealer directly? Do the new latches still have the BMW logo molded in the plastic?
I bought new latches from two different people and both claimed that their parts were "genuine OEM" latches; one of them was stamped and molded completely different than the original part I pulled out of my car, and the other came in a sealed box with a "BMW GROUP" label completely with BMW part number and text "1 Stueck / Piece" and "Made in Germany" but like the other seller, the part was made completely different; and of course, neither had BMW logos molded in their plastic. UPDATE: Worried that what I bought were not true OEM or BMW, I bought one directly from a BMW dealer and it looked exactly like the other two: redesigned completely and with most distinguishable markings removed, included no BMW logo molded in the plastic.

I just finished this DIY tonight. Took me a little over 3 hrs to do both front Driver and Pax sides...w/ ample hydration of course
Picked up the set for $89 from http://www.rmeuropean.com/Part-Numbe..._E095124A.aspx I also picked up a couple fasteners and replacement 20A fuses for fuse #'s 56 and 57, so the total was under $100 for the entire fix. Beats the stealership by far! You can search pelicanparts.com to confirm part numbers, but they work like a charm so far. Came in what appeared to be official BMW parts boxes/labels. The passenger side went much quicker since there wasn't the outer key lock to remove or mess with. I also like to look around and had some trial and error w/ fasteners. I disconnected my battery but all my radio stations and memory settings were stored. I don't have iDrive if that matters, but there ya go. Had to fix it before I sell it or trade it in (she's an '06...and I'm tired of doing things like this). Great thread DIY. |

Hello,
So my driver door is stuck shut, and locked. I tried the cam trick on Page 4, but there is no cam that I can see on my lock. I am close to just taking a drill and drilling the bajeezus out of hte acutator to open the door and finish the replacement. Any other advice? super frustrated here. |

Update with this. I didn't drill it out. I stuck screwdrivers in it and turned the gears, then went and tried to unlock it with the Key and it worked (where as before with the key it had previously failed). After that, the install was a breeze, took 45 minutes and didn't remove the window.

My 328i drivers side lock suddenly will no longer unlock, only lock using the fob.
I can DIY this, just need to confirm the part numbers.. the 143/146 parts cost more each than this 51217263086 or this 51217272999 . I called my BMW center and they said they had 51217263086 in stock for 93$ for a set but could not confirm it would fit my car because their system cant pull up the specifics even though they have it in stock. Just wanted to confirm that it is indeed the correct part before i make the drive out. Thanks in advance for any and all replies, much appreciate the help! Regards, asmd. |

Thank you for the reply!
Much appreciated. The dealers closest to me sells it for 93$ + tax in their parts store. Strange, when i can get it shipped for about 10 bucks less.... oh well. Will get to doing it after labor day. |

If anyone needs part 51217202146, I've got one I'd like to sell. Thought thus might be a good place to post since most readers here will be doing this replacement.

The only other possible causes would be an open circuit upstream (broken wire) or defective ECU affecting just the passenger door; both highly doubtful.
