When you lock the door with the remote the doors are "double locked" and both inside and outside handles are disabled.

Try when sitting in the car or with the window down. You cannot open the car door from inside when locked from outside.

There are two motors one that performs the primary lock that is for example engaged when you press the central lock button while you are inside and second that disables the connection from the inner door handle.

I forgot the official term BMW uses for the secondary lock but most people call it double locked.
