Evening peep's, 

 

So I've gone and got a 730Ld and as per the title it's got issues, most prominently the lack of function from the O/S/R door handles, both internal and external.

 

Does anyone know how to get into the rear doors without damaging the door cards?

 

Cheers in advance

Stupid question, but do the doors unlock with the remote?

also, where did the car come from?

do you have it’s history. 
 

sounds an odd question but some of the 7lm cars were used as diplomat cars and MOD cars so door handle function on the rear may have been disabled. 
check the child locks on the door frame and see if this makes the inner levers operate

 

If it is only one door, as I read it now... you will have to take the interior off to get to the lock mechanisms. I think they had a white plastic link which were the weak point

Welcome to the Forum

Are you thinking of after market or BMW ? Also raises the question why ?

If BMW then as long as it has the same functions and air bag connections I would think you could find one from other models. Try a search on www.realoem.com to see if there are any cross refference parts
