My car has a new trick this week. I unlock the door and go to open it and the latch comes up but the door doesn't open. Anyways, it's ridiculous to climb through the passenger door to open the door from inside (which works fine). If I push the door inwards and then pull quickly on the exterior handle I can usually get it to work now, however this is only a temporary solution to the problem.
Curious if anyone had ever troubleshot this problem before or had a dealership fix this problem and if so what all they replaced. Thanks for the help!

I have a 2001 BMW X5. Before the battery was dead, I was having problems with opening the driver's door from the outside. I would unlock it normally (by remote or manually), but pulling the outside handle didn't open the door.

2005 X5 - Driver side door handel will not open the door. I can open from the interior latch. Exterior door handel is slightly cocked outward. I have gained access to the inside of the door and I can make the lock release by manually pushing up on the cabel arm / ball end of the cable. Pulling the exterior door handle does not pull cable.
