Searching for bowden cable - 530i

[joechum]

The cable that opens the driver door from the inside broke. So far I've found the entire lock mechanism on Ebay for $100, but all I need is the cable. Anyone aware of another source?

thanks in advance,

Thanks!

cause mine broke. I used the door panel removal page from www.bmwe34.net.

I was pretty accurate except there were a couple of screws they missed.
While you are getting the bowden cable, also pick up a dozen of the door panel clips. They get crispy after years of heat and abuse.

Good luck, JD

Thanks JD, I found the bmwe34 door panel removal page very helpful also. I would note also that there is a torx screw behind the mirror control switch that must be removed. I will take your advice and pick up some extra clips.

I've just fitted one on my 530 and I paid £2.15p from the local stealer.
Bit of a give-away really.
