problem #2

Z4

  • 56,000 miles
I left my BMW in the sun all day and now my locks wont work. Many resources link this problem to the GM5 which controls the lighting and locks. Bad locks can be a safety and security issue on parked cars but also for moving cars as children may open vehicle doors in traffic.

My BMW 2004 Z4 door on the passenger side would not open. The inside and outside handles would not open the door. Shortly afterwards the drivers side door handle began to fail intermittently. I was locked inside my vehicle without the ability to get out.
