Yet another problem
 

My 330xi has been developing lots of small problems... I thought I'd post them here to see if anyone has ideas about what's causing them.
1) The rain sensor is messed up. Sometimes when it's raining hard the wipers won't go fast enough even in the most sensitive setting, and sometimes when it's barely sprinkling the wipers will flip out and start going full speed.. I think the full speed problem could be caused by smearing from the wiper blades, but the wipers are only about two months old. The rain sensor has become really irritating because I have to keep moving the switch, which kind of defeats the purpose of the rain sensor.. I just had the windshield replaced, so is it possible that somehow screwed up the programming?
2) When I'm getting off the highway and I use the brakes, the whole car shudders... I find it hard to believe that the rotors are warped... I just had the front pads and rotors replaced a few weeks ago! It's not like I ride the brakes, either. Is there anything else it could be?
3) Every once in a while, one of the headlights will go out.. It's usually the driver's side low beam, but sometimes the passenger's low beam goes out. It's always one at a time, and they always come back on if you restart the car.
4) Today I unlocked the car with the remote and only the driver's side door unlocked. The passenger doors wouldn't unlock even after I pressed the unlock button like 5 times. It also wouldn't unlock from the button inside, either.
I've found that my 3 has a lot of small problems... Little things keep breaking. I think it's impressive that I've had no mechanical problems on it (except the engine coils)... It's got just over 73,000 miles on it and it runs fine.. But little things keep breaking and it's driving me nuts!

Was it ever in a wreck?? Sounds like an electrical problem in the front and a faulty central control module for the locks.

sometimes when you change brakes/rotors, they've got to be 'set in' and can shudder a little bit.

you sure the rotors were changed? i mean, i'm sure you paid to have them changed, but sometimes, the old rotors somehow never make it off. (tulley?).... not insinuating anything, but its something to consider.....

you should get an X3!

Sounds to me like you should start building a case for the 'rents to get you a new vehicle. Since your 17th b-day is upcoming, I think an X5 would be a great way for them to recognize it :D

It's never been in a wreck since I've owned it. It had a clean carfax, too. I'm not sure the rotors were changed... I mean, I did pay, but... Who knows. I want an X3!

I already brought it up... My mom said I can get one next year.. I'm trying to decide! I'm thinking of a 540i, 545i, or A6 as far as sedans go... I'd prefer an SUV and I'm thinking of a Grand Cherokee with either the 5.7l Hemi or the Grand Cherokee SRT-8 with a 425hp 6.1 liter Hemi! Maybe a Lexus GX or LX.... Hmm. I'd get a Touareg if they weren't so unreliable.

Just take the wheels off and measure the thickness of the rotors, a sure way of knowing.
