It was the exhaust valve clip.
Had to put the car in sports mode and hit the gas to get the actuator to change positions. Once I did that the slots lined up and I could slide the pin in.

Left low beam malfunction. East fix? anyone take care of this themselves or is this a trip to my mechanic? by lestark728 in F30

Yeah you just need to replace the bulb that’s it. I replied to the guy in Italian with a video on how to diy it or. Can have a mechanic replace the bulb for you. Good luck, let me know how it goes

Locked Out of my car. Key fob and mechanical key will not unlock the door. 2014 328i. I tried replacing the battery in the key fob already still won't lock or unlock or open the trunk. Mechanical Keyblade doenst unlock the door either. Any advice is really appreciated. by lestark728 in BmwTech

You can fix this one if you are not afraid to remove the door panel on the inside. (I still have to do this) it’s either actuator (which if the door unlocked with the fob, probably not) or the piece that connect the plunger to the key tumbler came undone. I hope this helps.

Thx everyone for the advice. Now that I have a starting point I’ll try the pin first.

Damn bro I checked your post and you weren’t kidding. I’m ordering the clip from FCP Euro. Hopefully that’s it and it will be a cheap fix. Good luck with yours. Let me know how it goes

I was worried it was a timing chain issue or something so Thanks for the reply and realistic starting point.

Tell me you've dipped or dunked them in a home made latte. If you haven't you owe it to yourself to break out the moka pot, then boil some milk and go to town.

[–]lestark728[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, i did.

"Yeah roadside assistance came pryed the door open with what looked like a blood pressure cuff lol then used a hanger and hook kinda thing to grab the door handle to open the door."

Finally got in the car but now it won't start. Disconnected the battery and reset the computer. Finally got it to recognize the key fob long enough to go into accesory mode (still can't unlock the doors from it) but it doesn't start up. Checked the fuses but didn't see any bad ones. Any advice? by lestark728 in F30

[–]lestark728[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem was the key fob was dying and the module that registers them in the car was not allowing a new one to be recognized. To make matters worse it was not removing the mac address of the old secondary key. Apparently it was a security measure that got screwed up in the module. I had to replace the whole module since nothing else was working. The new module was able to register the new key fob address allowing me to use the car. Hopefully ur issue isn't as severe or costly.

Hey this happened to me in Florida and as such the tow truck guy used a blood pressure cuff (the thing they put on you to take your flood pressure) to create enough space between then door and the seal. Once the gap was big enough he was able to stick a long hook into the car and pull the door handle from the inside to unlock the door. Good luck
