Always take a video of any condition like this, and show it to the dealer when you drop the car off for service. It helps keep them from declining to perform the repair because they "couldn't replicate" the issue.

I must have a good SA because I just got my actuator replaced under CPO. No more issue........so far. It seem really smooth and fully goes up when it’s unlocked. Unlike before it went up slow and not all the way.

i got my passenger front door lock actuator replaced under CPO for this issue as well, and it was slow as crap when locking and unlocking. now, with the new actuator, it shows how bad the other 3 doors are as well. i'm going to ask them to take a look and replace the others at my next service.

Was anyone able to get this fixed using video proof alone? I have videos of my driver and passenger side doing it. It happens to my 2013 335i every other month or so. Really low reproducibility.
I am under CPO warranty until 03/2019 and the SA wanted to charge me $170 to diagnose the issue and if they couldn't reproduce it with the tech, they would not fix the issue and I would be out the $170. When I produced the video, he said it could be someone else's car that I was filming...Why would I want the dealer to randomly replace my lock actuators? He said BMW will not honor warranty repairs unless the issue occurs for the tech. Is this true? Or should I just try to go to a different dealer? I'm kind of boiling as this is the first CPO warranty claim I tried to get resolved. |

Been having a slow lock/unlock on my front passenger door. Today, I drove someone to lunch and the door wouldn't open, the lock kept going back down. I unlocked using the central console and it worked fine. My factory warranty just ran out, but I am under CPO for another year, going to see if they will replace it. There should really be a TSB on this given how many people have had issues. Will report back once I know more.

It's a bad door actuator. I had this exact issue on my passenger door. My passenger occasionally couldn't get out. Next time it happens, try unlocking with the button on the dash. If that works, it's the actuator.

I had the actuators in both front doors replaced. What is confusing is why pressing the unlock button near the centre vent always successfully unlocks the door, I appreciate that pulling the door unlock handle is a mechanical action whereas the button is electrical but would it not give the actuator a kick to unlock in the same manner?

Im in the same boat with driver side door. Doesn't really bother me enough to spend much to fix.
Has anyone replaced the actuator, DIY? How difficult? |

Same thing just started happening for me as well, driver side only. Also will be looking for a DIY fix.

Aside from the fact a lock actuator should not fail on a four year old vehicle, BMW, and this dealership in particular, has treated me well, so I am a happy customer and cannot complain. |

Hi guys, more of the same with me. 13 335 xi cpo. Had been having intermittent issues with the passenger door not unlocking on the first pull. Took it in and they said it was the Bowden cable that needed replaced and quoted me some ridiculous sum to do so, I declined (not covered under cpo b/c the cable is a non electrical component) Couple months later and now drivers side as well as passenger are having the issue. Question is should I try and replace the cables and see if that helps, if not take it back in? I feel like since they already told me it was the cable they are going to require that fix before they replace the cpo covered actuator, and if that works I have to fight with them to get reimbursed. Take it to another dealer? Door lock button unlocks everything and able to get out same as most others. Advice would be appreciated.

I get that but wondering how to go about it when they already told me its the cable that needs replaced, or are you suggesting I diy? They quoted me like $800 or something crazy at Motorwerks, definitely not paying that. Thinking maybe I should take it to Minetonka..

I took mine to Motorwerks for my last maintenance package and was told that they couldn't give me my yearly set of wipers because I got the last ones in November of 2017. They literally told me to come back in a week instead of just giving me them like 8 days early. My SA agreed that it was stupid, but had to follow policy.
