I know the design is poopie, but it's great to have somethong to blame the wife for, for a change

It doesn't help that on e53 the lock blocks pull effort and puts all the stress on the weakest link. The e70 uses the far smarter "dry fire" disconnect the lever method so there is almost zero force on any part when the door is locked. (which is an incredible oversight since the interior handles on e53 do work the correct way).
