I would have to agree that its not your keyless entry system thats doing you wrong since thats nothing but electrical wires. Take a look and see if your actuator is bad for the locks on your door. Also another problem is when wires come loose in the door and when you put the window up and down it cuts them so check that out.

We have a 2000 328i that has one of the doors that won't unlock ( the front passenger door ), whether we use the remote or the button on the console . We have even used the key outside on the drivers side door ( in the lock ) turning it to the left twice .... nothing works ...... in fact I ended up locked in last night . HELP !!!!!
