Consumer Description

LOCK/LATCH MECHANISM SOMETIMES MALFUNCTIONS, SUCH THAT YOU CANNOT UNLOCK PASSENGER SIDE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. WHEN THAT HAPPENS, AT LEAST I CAN USE THE MANUAL KEY TO OPEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. BUT BMW HAS THE FORESIGHT TO NOT INCLUDE A KEY OPENING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. SO A FEW TIMES, I HAD TO ASK MY PASSENGER TO CRAWL OVER TO HER SEAT BY CLIMBING OVER THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THIS IS MORE THAN INCONVENIENT; IT'S EMBARRASSING, ESPECIALLY FOR LADIES IN DRESSES. *TR
