Product Information

Includes motor actuator

Are you stuck outside your X5 and you can't get in? Chances are, this part is your problem. This door lock actuator is what keeps your door closed while you're driving down the road.

Door Latch Assembly

A door latch assembly is the mechanical (and sometimes partially electronic) mechanism inside a vehicle door that secures the door closed and releases it when the handle is pulled. It connects to both the interior and exterior door handles, the door lock mechanism, and sometimes power lock actuators.

The assembly ensures that the door stays shut while driving and allows it to open safely when needed.

Door Latch Assembly Failure Symptoms
  • Door Won’t Latch Properly: Door may not fully close or may pop open unexpectedly.
  • Door Won’t Open from Inside or Outside: Pulling the handle does not release the latch.
  • Loose or Wobbly Door Handle: Handles may feel disconnected or have excessive play.

About Genuine BMW

The original parts used by BMW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine BMW” brand. When ordering a Genuine BMW part you are guaranteed to get the same part that you would pick up from your local dealerships part department. Genuine BMW parts have been built to BMW’s stringent standards and are the same quality of the original parts used to build your Ultimate Driving Machine.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your BMW are not necessarily manufactured by BMW. No cause for concern, as BMW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for BMW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine BMW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a BMW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.

Horrible! Done with FCP!
This is the last straw with FCP euro. I read the other two review, but had no other option than to get OEM. I had a shop redo my entire door panel and inside of the driver door, $650 dollars. After they called me and said everything is good but the new door lock actuator is bad and does not allow the door to lock or unlock. If I come back with a new part I get hit with $300 in labor again due to this faulty part. Now I’m screwed with a door that doesn’t unlock or lock till I spent another $230 on a part, send back the old one; and repay the additional labor costs a second time. You think you can’t go wrong getting OEM from these guys, be careful. Quality has gone DOWN

Part arrived on time and as advertised. Installation was smooth. Unfortunately the locking mechanism portion of the part has quit working 2 months after being installed. Not looking forward to revisiting the replacement process.
