2 Adaptive Equipment problem of the 2006 BMW 325

Failure Date: 04/14/2014

The doors on my car are locked and will not open. I called BMW and was advised that this is a common issue but not considered a safety issue. Once the doors are locked they cannot be unlocked regardless if you are in or out of the car - there is no manual way to open them. So essentially because of the issue if you were in the car you would be stuck. I was also told that this has happened to 1000s of BMW's and its a known issue but BMW wont recall. How can being stuck in a vehicle with no way to exit not be considered a safety concern?.

3 Adaptive Equipment problem of the 2004 BMW 325

Failure Date: 12/01/2011

The vehicle came equipped from the factory with bi-xenon auto leveling headlights manufactured by zkw. The past couple months, the light output has steadily decreased. Looking at it further, brown scorch marks are visible in the projector when the headlight is on. On the driver's side, there is also distortion in the upper half of the projector which looks almost as if the top half of the projector has melted and distorted. The light output from the projectors has been reduced to a thin beam of light right below the cutoff, with the driver's side being worse than the passenger. Parked 6 feet away from a wall, this strip of light extends only about 8-12" below the cutoff, putting out virtually no light below that. At night, it is becoming very difficult to see with no light in the foreground; this problem is getting progressively worse.
