| Description of the problem | The door locks stopped working due to well known by bmw faulty door actuators. Left side got locked, while right side kept being unlocked. The worst part is that i could not close the locked passenger door, so we had to "belt it" to the back passenger door to eb able to make it home. Shame on bmw for very poor design w/o any mechanical way of locking/unlocking. Very unsafe it happens at collision. |
