      That it does. You pull the door handle and hold it up for a few seconds. It then thaws the cylinder out=P

           It's The latch is either freezing or the handle assembly is taking a crap on you.  You can buy a new assembly from the dealer that is keyed for your car but it's not cheap.  I believe when I had it done on my e36 325is maybe 5 years ago I bough it from Concours because they were the cheapest.  I want to say it was around $200.

          I hope it's frozen or else the e39 is sitting over winter! I don't want to pull the door panel off while the car is stuck shut!! And in te cold lol

            i tried this on my e34 (which should have the feature) and it didnt do shit.  hold handle for a few seconds, let go and it should start warming up? how long till it should be done? i can't even get the key into the lock its so froze up after the rain/sleet/deep freeze cycle the other day.

              It heats while the handle is up. Try holding the handle longer. It worked everytime for me on mine
