Description of the problem	On 3 separate occasions the electric door locks have locked the car with the key fob inside the car. On the 1st occasion , a 2 y/o child had just been strapped into his car seat , a purse with the key inside the purse , was placed on the floor behind the driver's seat , the rear door was closed & all locks were activated . This occurred in the heat of summer & required another driver with a spare fob to quickly drive to the site of the parked car & avoid having to break a window . This was a very scary moment ! Same thing happened ( no child in car ) ; all doors locked when a briefcase containing both key fobs was placed on back seat & rear door was closed . A call to bmw hot line resulted in the doors being unlocked via the airways . The same incident occured this week with only one key fob in the car . The vehicle was checked by the local dealer & no problems were found . It seems there is a potential problem & i wish to document such fact so as to hopefully prevent unexpected door lock activation with small children in the car. *js
