My 2013 528i has some problems with the motor. I purchased the car around december 18 some time with about 76000 miles and only had it for 2 days an problem's came . First it was saying I drivetrains malfunction so I turn the car off an tried to crank it about 4 times an it finally crunk . About 3 days later same problem occurred so I contacted the dealer but they couldn't help me . So I left the car sit for a day an came to crank it an everything was fine . About a week later on the way to work my car just shut off an the, dashboard symbol came on saying low oil pressure to the motor . I read on this on others complaints an seen some similar problems. Took my car to the bmw dealership in raleigh early in january they said I may need a new motor an it would cost to just go inside the motor to actually see the problem car dosnt crank but tries to turn over

Drivers door lock is failing at only 40,000 miles. We first noticed this problem when we would lock the car from the key fob and noticed the door wouldn't lock, even though the car would beep and the security system would activate. Then, if you went to open the door after you locked the car, the alarm would go off because it wasn't actually locked. When you're inside the car, you can see the door lock pin slowly trying to move down or up into the locked or unlocked position. Sometimes it would make it into the desired position, other times it would stop about half way. After a few moths of this, it's more often that not the lock doesn't work correctly.
Doors are getting lockdown sporadically even after your car is at complete stop and parked, unless you press the central unlock switch in the panel you are locked down in the car, it took 15mins for me to figure out how to unlock the doors and come out. If this is an emergency situation then I would have been dead by now. There are 1000s of people posted online with this problem, I am surprised there is no recall from bmw on this. I thought it is best to report first in the federal safety agency first, here I am I am giving additional details with exact same problem.
