Just started yesterday. The keyfob unlocks all the other doors, and the console button unlocks all other doors, the only one that doesn't unlock is the front passenger door. I can manually open it from the inside. Is this as simple as a blown fuse or something much more expensive?

Edit: The front passenger door can lock correctly with the keyfob and central button. It just won't unlock unless I use the handle.

Looks like burnt motor in the door lock actuator. Fairly common issue.

Make sure it isn't the fuse for the door lock ($5 fix). If its the actuator, its about $150 plus a few hrs of fixing.

That's kind of what I figured. I already tried replacing fuses 56 and 57. Is the actuator really $150? It seems to be so on getbmwparts.com, but I think I found it OEM for $44 from BMW on amazon by typing in the same part number into amazon I found on getbmwparts. Please be the right part!

They sell a kit of both left/right for about $100. That's what I got and replaced both even though only one was broken. Look for the part number in below thread.
