2001 BMW 330I electrical complaints

I was driving home from school, about 30-35 MPH when I hit a pot hole. The side airbags deployed. I was riding alone & nothing was in the seat. I took the car to the shop & that was when the man who looked at the car said that it was not supposed to do that unless someone was sitting in the seat. Also, my car one day just wouldn't unlock or it would start not locking using the remote. I used the key and sometimes it would work. It went back to normal after not touching it for a few days. Months after, it started doing it again. Id be locked out or locked in. It wouldn't work using the remote, key, nor manually from the inside. Now, the driver door wont open at all, thus I have to crawl across the seat to drive. The back blinker started dimming so we took it to get it replaced but the man said it wasn't the bulb but maybe the wiring. Im starting to think maybe the wiring is causing the mishaps in the locks and doors.
Bmw 2001 330i sedan (4 doors). Door locks are unresponsive during hot days. I live in orlando florida and this means almost all the year is hot. This is a critical problem because for safety reasons you will get locked in your car. I am imagine if you have a car accident and you are not able to open the doors to leave the car? Online (http://www.bmwgm5.com/) you can fine how bmw customers are dealing with the same problem. The guy on that website has a fix for that issue. I have seen this problem more than 50 times in 2 years. Bmw should do a recall for this issue.
Unable to manually unlock car doors. Dealer states the gmv computer module has failed and there is no manual override to allow doors to be opened. This situation present a safety hazard for all passengers.
Dme control unit needs to be replaced, because some how liquid got into it, even though bmw sealed the unit . It's consider not under warranty because bmw thinks someone used something to drop liquid into the seal unit. They don't know how the liquid got into the unit and they will not replace it.
