I have soft closing doors on my vehicle. My doors won-??t unlock/open, the only way I can get the driver side door open is using the physical key. When trying to unlock the door with the key fob, it makes the sound but none of the doors unlock. The unlock button inside doesn-??t work and when trying to open the other doors (passenger side and rear doors) manually, it won-??t open! Thank goodness I didn-??t have anyone in the backseat, otherwise I would have to call the fire department and they would probably have to end up breaking the glass if they couldn-??t crawl through the front. I feel this is a major safety issue. The dealer said it maybe a fuse or actuator issue. To replace one actuator is $1300, and I may need to replace all four! The car is like a death trap currently, again I-??m just thankful no one was in the back seat.

After having my BMW at the dealership for two weeks I had the low battery discharging message come on when I took the car home. The dealer also performed an oil change less than 1K miles prior to this problem. My battery died, luckily at exactly the time, I drove onto my driveway. The car just stopped. I'm just glad I wasn't on the highway or going faster speeds. I attempted to jump it and charge it but it wouldn't start. I had the car towed to the dealership and was told my engine had locked up and there were metal shavings in the oil filter and I need a new engine ($13,000). I don't know how this happened and the dealer can't tell me what caused this. I didn't get any warnings, car drove fine other than the battery discharging and your usual drivetrain malfunction message after the car wouldn't start. I'm trying to work with the dealership but I haven't gotten anywhere yet. This is a 2013 550I M sport with 72,343 miles on the car. The car has been kept up and is up to date on maintenance. I've read about issues with the N63 engine but I can't believe a car with 72K miles will just die. A car stalling out and stopping is not a good thing.

BMW 550 xi was traveling on pa turnpike when the sunroof exploded into tiny shards of glass. The car was going the speed limit, outside temp was 24 degrees, the shade was open when the sunroof exploded. There were no rocks or debris that hit the sunroof. There were no cars in front of me. I was not traveling under an overpass.
