530e rear door won't open from either side

Hey all
Anyone has any idea how to open the door what won't open from outside nor from inside.
?
It is a g30 drivers rear door ( UK model). Door panel off, rear seat off- sweating like crazy and nothing.
Electric lock works perfect goes up and down when lock car.
Child lock not the issue as is should be still opened from outside regardless.
No room to reach catch on the latch to try to retract it if possible.
Help

Try this. Not a G30, but may work for you.



Here's a link to several Youtube videos.

Here's a bimmerfest forum member that had the exact problem you have.

Hi mate. Watched this video already. The door is open on that video.... I cannot open it.
Also I tried both mechanism when pull inner and outer handle and the Bowden cord moves - so not dislodged as he says.
I have a video check it out

Did you read the bimmerfest forum posting?
I read it quickly. It could be as easy as spraying some WD40.

Spray to the latch exactly how?
As I said , doo does not open and no access to latch nor to catch sa hidden under the door.
Not sure how did he do that if he did as thecpost ends there.
