Example complaints

Electrical system: “Car was stationary the car doors get stuck in locked state and will not unlock from inside. This happens when vehicle is parked after a drive or when you start up the vehicle and it is in parked position. This is a safety issue as the driver or passenger can get locked inside the car. This happens due to failed lock actuator and possible mechanical failure in the door lock mechanism. This issue is extremely widespread yet there is no recall from Bmw on this issue. I've experienced this issue 3 additional times since I purchased this vehicle in april of 2018.”

Air temperature of air conditioning set to max AC started to blow hot air, approximately 2 minutes later engine overheating alert came on and vehicle began to decelerate. Top vehicle speed was immediately limited to approximately 20 MPH. Traffic was heavy and I had to cross 3 lanes of 60+ MPH traffic to get to the shoulder, causing a significant traffic hazard to both other vehicles and myself. …”
