The fuel door on my '95 850 doesn't unlock at times and I have to use the override located in the trunk. Diagnosis was I need a new fuel door lock motor. Dealership estimate is $210.00 and is this reasonable. Also, I consider myself average mechanically inclined and would this be a job I could do myself? If so any directions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

not sure about it, took mine off when it stopped working so I just manually open the door. by pushing on it by the hinge

I had a similar problem and the shop simply reattached the wiring to the motor believing the intermittent nature to be a loose wire. It has worked since. Unfortunately, the price quote you rec'd was similar to what my mechanic was going to charge to replace the motor.
