I agree. Two lock works if you're the only one using the car. But then you develop the habit of unlocking only once, and your travel mate yanks the handle when you open your door and forgot to unlock the second time.

This happened to my 2006 330i a while back. My wife got impatient while I frantically click the unlock button as she furiously yanked at the door handle.

The result was a complete failure of the lock mechanism so now the door won't lock or unlock with the remote control. You can only open it from the inside handle.

I think that episode was also the source of a mysterious power drain on that car.
