Re BMW 2016 428ix- BMW admits that there is a design flaw in this model, but has not remedied a fix for this 'MALFUNCTION DEFECT'. Top does not open or close is the end result. Getting caught in a flash rain, and wanting to close the top was impossible. Trying to pull over to the nearest overpass till rain lightens up, the most dangerous situation to be in. This is a SAFETY issue and bmw will not take care of it. I have come to learn, that It seems in their design flaw, rain collects that you cant see, but shorts out the motor of the top and top will not function at all. Many owners have the same problem and BMW will not recall it. Local dealer says he has to drill 2 holes on the bottom of the car so water will drain out and then a new motor for the top installed. Cost $2400. BMW service knows the problem, has many cars with the same problem.There is no warning that your top wont work. DRILL 2 HOLES"?"
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
