I'm using the automatic door lock after move-off. Set via Idrive.....
While the car is in move all door locks itself. All working great ever since.
Now for the past month after I move off the rear right passenger door does not lock????
Anyone?
so I have to press the central lock button on the dash (next to triangel light) to lock, unlock, lock and than all is finaly lock......

Does it lock if you push the dash board button?? If not, your lock actuator is stuck. That happened to my passenger side front door and the actuator was replaced under warranty.

I realize they don't directly give you an answer but at least you know you're not the only one out there with this problem.
I think the dealer is the only one that can help you here -- sounds like a part in the door might need replacing...
