Adaptive headlight, turn signals, daytime/parking lamp and headlamp vehicle aim malfunctions. it is available for inspection. Hand signals are required due to the front signals inoperability. It is reason to be aware certain enviromental conditions can prevent hands signals and or other to see the signals. an inability to signal as vehicles are mandated to provide, potentially can be a dire situation for all involved. The actual subject company confirmed the issue upon inspection. Along with two independent mechanic shops. Inspected by manufacturer. There were not any pre-warning alerts. The notifications presented themselves upon the onset of malfunctions. At that point the damage was already embedded. My research uncovered BMW has allowed the defect to exist for over 10 years conservatively. Repairs can cost the BMW owner between $5000 to $10,000. I have not been able to find another manufacture's vehicle with the same issue. Therefore, this is malfeasance on the part of BMW.

DRIVERS DOOR LOCK IS FAILING AT ONLY 40,000 MILES. WE FIRST NOTICED THIS PROBLEM WHEN WE WOULD LOCK THE CAR FROM THE KEY FOB AND NOTICED THE DOOR WOULDN'T LOCK, EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WOULD BEEP AND THE SECURITY SYSTEM WOULD ACTIVATE. THEN, IF YOU WENT TO OPEN THE DOOR AFTER YOU LOCKED THE CAR, THE ALARM WOULD GO OFF BECAUSE IT WASN'T ACTUALLY LOCKED. WHEN YOU'RE INSIDE THE CAR, YOU CAN SEE THE DOOR LOCK PIN SLOWLY TRYING TO MOVE DOWN OR UP INTO THE LOCKED OR UNLOCKED POSITION. SOMETIMES IT WOULD MAKE IT INTO THE DESIRED POSITION, OTHER TIMES IT WOULD STOP ABOUT HALF WAY. AFTER A FEW MOTHS OF THIS, IT'S MORE OFTEN THAT NOT THE LOCK DOESN'T WORK CORRECTLY.
