What is the reason why the BMW car key is inside the car but the door is locked?
2 Answers
In theory, the phenomenon of the car key being inside the car but the door being locked should not occur. If it does happen, it is most likely due to abnormal operation of the car key. Below is a detailed introduction about BMW cars: 1. Overview: BMW cars refer to vehicles produced by Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (abbreviated as BMW). The main series models include the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 series. BMW is globally renowned for producing luxury cars, motorcycles, and high-performance engines. 2. Logo: The BMW logo features a double-circle graphic with the letters "BMW" inscribed above the double circles. The entire emblem resembles the blue sky, white clouds, and a continuously rotating propeller, symbolizing the company's long history and its consistent mission and goals.
I've been through this, and it's absolutely nerve-wracking! That time I left my key on the passenger seat, even left the window slightly open before getting out, but the door locked itself as soon as I slammed it shut. Later I learned BMW has this frustrating feature: the car only allows you to lock the door if it detects the key outside, but sometimes the signal goes haywire. For example, if you're standing near the door with the key in your pocket, the system might mistakenly think the key is outside and just locks up. Also, when the key battery is running low, the signal becomes as weak as a mosquito's buzz, and the car can't detect it at all. If there's a metal thermos or electronic devices inside interfering with the signal, it can also cause a mix-up. Don't panic if this happens—download the BMW App on your phone for remote unlocking, or call the dealership to send roadside assistance; they can fix it in half an hour with professional tools. Now I've made it a habit: my key either stays clipped to my belt or tucked in my pocket—never out of reach!
