I'm not sure if I caused this or not so I'm posting here to see if it has happened to anyone else.
I was, as usual, getting to 60mph as fas as possible when I saw the patrol car up ahead. I got off the gas and on the brakes as fas as possible and the next thing I know my door opened. Going down the highway at 60+ and my door cracks open?
2008 535i.
Anyone had this happen?

possibly your door latch was barely engaged, and when you hit the brakes, the chassis flexed and the door popped open.
you do slam your door good when closing it, right?

I'd say, try to get to a place where you can safely do a few runs and see if you can induce this to happen again. If you can get the door to pop open again, when you KNOW you closed it tight, you need to take this car to the dealer.
I've never heard about anyone else having a similar experience though.
