So to be clear, the door wont open from the inside no matter how many times you pull the handle? But it will unlock the door?

I had a similar problem with my rear door, You pull handle inside or out and door just wont open. I have an 2002 with no warranty and i also have soft door close. I was not about to pay hundreds of dollars to have the dealer try and replace the mechanism. I pulled the panel off myself from the inside then removed the whole latch and motor assembly. After several hours looking inside the mechanism i finally found that a spring had fallen off that prevented a lever to release the door latch. Took about a day to fix but dealer was already telling me that no it couldnt be repaired Bull! fixed it! not a problem since.

how did you pull the panel off. I have been trying to do so and cant. It seems like part of the panel shuts inside of the door.

Pull hard, You might damage some of the panel if your not carefull but this is the same way bmw would try to fix the problem.

That's how they fixed mine. You should check the window up/down components while you're in there.
