Can't open passenger door from the inside

Just had faulty mirror electrics replaced on the passenger side and now can't open the door from the inside. Locking works fine and car can be opened from the outside.

Now, have I accidentally turned on some child lock facility or have BMW knackered the electrics for the door too?

Thanks for that. I assume there is no child lock function that could have been activated? I can't see one in the manuals but wondered if this could be the issue.

I don't think 2 door cars have child safety locks. Probably as indicated above something to do with the cable. Best take it back to the dealers.
