I found it strange that the handle felt "floppy" (can think of a better way of describing it) and when I pushed the door to shut, it would bounce back open (as the latch was in the open position). the only way I could close it was to hold the door shut and then hit the lock button on the fob.
This bugs the hell out of me as I have had BMW's for over 10 years and my 2018 G30 is the only one that has ever had frozen handles.

I have had the exact same problem with one of my rear doors when it is below freezing. The dealer looked at it and didn't find any fault. It's a pain in the mornings, especially if I'm having to take the kids anywhere and it's frozen! I find that pouring warm water over it a few times sorts it out.
Like you say, it bugs the hell out of me too!
If it's any help...Here a link to the video I sent the dealer.
BMW Frozen Door Handle |
That video is spot on! Here was me with my floppy handle!
I have had many BMs and this is the first it has happened to. The only door that works is the passenger one. So I open that and lean in and open the drivers from the inside. However I will then forget and when I get back to the car will try the handle and go through the hassle of holding it shut while locking it!
Im in Scotland so we do see freezing weather. I wonder if others in colder climates have the same issue?
