1.) No function on remote ( No alarm or locking)
2.) Central locking in cabin does nothing
3.) Front wipers dont work
4.) Interior Dome out (map lights work)
5.) Tail Gate does not work

Please help guys.

Well you answered both of your own questions, the GM controls all of those things, so I would say yes it's bad. I along with many others here on the sight have replaced mine, you can get yours repaired by the guy in the link below, they are not cheap unless you get a salvage/used one so he is your best option. You would think something with no moving parts would be more reliable, but they're notorious for failing, gotta love BMW.
