Thanks William

but what I concern is : after parking, I put the key in my pocket, sometimes there are coins whatever inside the pocket and press the button accidentally. Any idea?

i didnt read into the detail since it didnt concern me but imagine there wasnt a recall and if a 335 was already out of warranty, then the owners would be on their own.

just got a letter from BMWHK asking me to join the maintenance & warranty programm which cost over $48,000 for 2 more years of warranty and 3 more year of maintenance.
this I will not join.
if it was a company car then I would join.
