Description of the problem	I have a 2007 3 series. Prior to that, i owned a 2000 bmw 3 series that never had this problem. I came out to my car and was unable to unlock the door with remote. After checking to make sure it wasn't the battery in the fob, i then had to manually use key to open driver's side door. Then upon being inside car, i was unable to unlock door using button on dash. My car is in shop and i am told it is a blown fuse needing an actuator replaced. I was told it's also affecting my gas tank, meaning i would be unable to open gas tank to put in gas. After researching, this seems to be a common problem with 2007 3 series. And a huge safety issue of getting trapped in your car. I am really upset i am having to shell out money for this, as my car is out of warranty. My car is in mint condition with 25k miles. I hope this will be seriously considered for a recall as this a potential safety hazard/law suit!
