They must have learned their lesson the e70 lost features of e53. Sadly that makes e70 ∞ more susceptible to smash and grab.
I have most of my items that wont fit through a window and you can't open e53 door from inside when alarm is set. As far as I can tell e70 doesn't have the double lock system.
It's possible It does and just outsmarted me by not disabling the inner door handles if a person is on the ass detector.
My door latches failed ≈ 140,000 miles after 16 yr or so. That's really not "total unreliable". They do have a design flaw in two places:
1) the self cleaning hinges on the DHC has a weak spot that will fatigue fail eventually.
2) the DLA has two metal parts that touch each other and capillary action will suck 1/20 of a ml of water between them and freeze them together.
If you don't realize the handle is frozen and try to tug, refer to 1).
