Doors will not open/94 325is

Neither door will open when you lift the handle. To get the door open you have to hold the door handle up and hit the door panel with your hip. Any ideas what this could be????????

Sounds like a bent piece of linkage, go to:

It is a possibility that your door hinges are worn causing the doors to drop slightly causing hard to open doors. Hinges are not usually expensive but have paid dearly for them on some cars. Best bet is look at the junk yards.
