Broken door lock mechanism 325i 1991

Is there an easy way to get damaged door lock off.
Seems to be broken inside lock itself.

"Easy" is a matter of perspective. The door locks come out if you turn the
right screws.

Dear Jeff,
I do realise this but door is in permanently locked position.

Hello,

Looks to me like the lock is not broken but the central/electrical locking
motor/mechanic is. I experienced the same problem as what you have.
I replaced it at my '92 525i a few years ago, how I openend the door was by
pulling the inside lockpin while opening it by the remote door (un)locker.
After a while all will fail, so better replace them all, I thought around 50
euro/lock.

Looked like the plastic mechanics wear out which are on top of the lock
mechanism, no problems ever after!

Best regards,
Marcel Vollebregt.
