The door lock actuator-driver's side periodically sticks in a locked position. When I attempt to exit the car,the locking mechanism does not release when door handle is pulled.I have to press unlock button to deactivate the lock and have handle return to normal function.I believe this is a safety issue that needs to be remedied by BMW
