nope, still dont get what you are saying. Double pull door handle are an annoyance but thats germans for you. You sort of have to do this on any car you are trying to open thats locked. Whats annoying is that the car doesnt automatically unlock when you take the key out (thats another issues).
there is a manual override, just for the drivers door only. you can open it with a key. End of story.
I dont believe TX that the other doors dont open when locked with no power, but I am not pulling apart my car to test this. otherwise you would hear the power locks cycling when you open it using the handle (two pulls) normally, which I dont believe you do.
if the issue is the rest of the doors. I dont understand why you would need to open all the other doors. you can pop the hood. you can jump the car. its a BMW not a chevy, call a wrecker and have them give you a jump.
lastly, its a BMW. if you were German this would make all the sense in the world. German engineers love fucking with the rest of us.
how else do you explain the cup holders and the climate control system.
