E46 central locking problems

Hi, I have an e46 330 ci, which seems to have developed a problem. Occasionally it seems to just unlock itself at random! 5 or 6 times now i have returned to the car to find it completely unlocked despite being sure to check it was locked when i left it. Living in London and parking it on the street, this has twice led to kids getting in and stealing everything from inside! It doesn't seem to happen on a very regular basis, so I'm sure BMW won't do anything about it, but just wondering if anyone has had a similar problem....?

This seems crazy, almost as someone has another key to it!

Let us know what the outcome is, I am sure nobody would want to be in the same situation.

Thanks for the reply Nick. I've got to say the same thing crossed my mind, but the first time it happened was in Liverpool, the next London, so I think it's unlikely!

How close are you to the car? The parking lot behind by apartment is within range, and I discovered bumping, touching, or otherwise hitting the buttons resulted in me returning to a car with the trunk or doors unlocked. I solved it by taking my keys from my pocket when I get inside. epbrown
