Hi All, Strange one here! earlier today whilst driving over a small speed bump at around 20mph the drivers door popped open. It was locked as car is set to automatically lock. Anyone else had this happen to them?? My car is 2009 520dse with 2k on clock Any advice appreciated

Never happened to me either. I'd have my dealer check it immediately.

Never happened to me either. If your doors auto-lock you have to pull the door handle twice to unlock and open so that should rule out you opening it by accident. Get thee to a dealer to investigate and stay buckled up so you don't fall out!

I had a similar problem with a brand new 535 xDrive 2009 when accelerating downhill in a curve.
The door opened halfway even though it was locked automatically.
The dealership made some adjustments to the door.
