2014 BMW 328D Structurebody Problems

Occasionally it is impossible to unlock the door from the inside with the manual door unlock. The door operates in a two-step manner - pull the door latch once to unlock the door, and then pull again to open the door. However, sometimes the first pull fails to unlock the door and the only way to unlock the vehicle is with the electric door unlock. When this occurs, there is notable tension in the door handle, and the pop-up unlock indicator does move upwards in synch with the door handle position - it's simply not reaching the unlock point, and there is resistance felt in the door latch.

I WAS PRESSING THE PARK BUTTON WHEN THE CAR SURGED FORWARD, ACCELERATED OVER THE CURB AND INTO THE OUTSIDE WALL OF THE STORE. THE DAMAGE TO THE CAR WAS ENOUGH TO RENDER IT UNDRIVEABLE AND THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE BUILDING. THANK GOODNESS, NO ONE WAS ON THE SIDEWALK. POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS RESPONDED. *TR
