    Passenger doors won't unlock

    My front passenger side and both rear doors won't unlock. Key remote stopped working. Handles won't open the doors. The lock/unlock button on the center console doesn't work. What's going on and how do I fix it?
    Thanks
    Shamus

    Just some more info: When I test drove the car, it had the same problem. They fixed it. Doors and console button worked. Remote lock worked. Got out of it yesterday, and nothing worked. Same for both remotes and all three passenger doors. As if there was a central switch or connector that works then doesn't, then works again, then doesn't again.
    Thanks, any thoughts or ideas are appreciated.

    Go to www.bmwgm5.com. It sounds like the car’s general module 5 is going bad.

    FIXED
    There's a master overlord feature. Put the key in the lock, turn it to lock, press the lock button... All the doors stay locked. Turn the key to unlock, press the unlock button... All the doors unlock. BOOM!
    and thanks Marco.
