- if the european left drive door locker are the same from e series, why in the f series also in Europe is not working this fantastic feature?

- if you check etk from usa there are no difference between door locker and s302 is not relevant; if you check Europe 8TGA seems to be the antitheft system for door lock, so probably only need vo coding.

What did you think about this?
As I mentioned above, I did not actually replace the door lock modules on mine, so it is not an area I am too familiar with. In my research, it did seem that the E-series were all equipped with the dead-locking system, possibly because there was a factory alarm retrofit option. For whatever reason, on the F-series that did not include the alarm, and apparently on some other models, BMW decided to go with a different lock system.
