Door lock failure

Damn......I understand that this is a well known problem for E90 but it happened finally to my car....

My car's door can't lock or unlock by using remote......only can use the physical key to open the driver's side door......

Will call BMWHK tomorrow and check the repair fee....my car's warranty just expired for 4 months....damn.....

if they don't provide fix for this well known problem for free, complaint all the way to Germany!

I had this problem a few months ago, but my warranty had already been up. So took it to another garage to fix. If you are taking it to BMWHK to fix, please have them fix BOTH sides of the door. I had my driver side problem and had it replaced. Then about 2 weeks later the OTHER passenger side door had problem and it had to be replaced as well. It cost about 2k for each side.

David, your ABS failed?....oh dear..how many km your car have now?

What can be done to prevent the door lock failure?

oh David. my car is on 150K now.....

What's the signal like? ..Yellow with an exclamination mark inside?

Asked my SA and he said its quite common which is probably why they waived the parts and labour charges as a goodwill gesture. It's usually the ABS hydraulic pump that fails.
Didn't you extend your warranty?

Oh, typo...its 15K...

lucky I have not experience that. I have extended 3rd warranty.....but sure about the 4th.
