06 330xi with 55k miles on it CPO. Had the locks fail today. When I came to my locked car, I unlocked it with the fob and three locks popped up. The driver's door stayed locked. Not thinking about using the key, I climbed in from the passenger's door. I could NOT open the drivers door no matter what. One pull, 30 pulls on the handle and the door was not going to open. Central lock button on the dash did nothing, the rest of the doors would no longer lock via the fob. I got home, called BMW, and got an emergency appointment, right away.
Very scary to NOT be able to get out of the car quickly if I had to. There absolutely should be a mechanical, lock over-ride, from the inside.
