We have a 53plate mini one. Whilst under warranty, we found it with the doors unlocked and the windows fully down. A repair was done, in what we were informed was a 'cap' on the electrics.

Now 2 years on, and out of warranty, the same thing has happened again. It was windy and hailing. Torrential rain seemed to have caused the first 'unlock'.

BMW are insisting we pay a 50pound diagnostic, before they (may) meet the repair cost (subject to good will) I am arguing that the first look should be at no cost, as I have believed that the problem was fully repaired. I have also been leaving my mini parked, loced, and expecting it to be safe when I get back!!

Is anyone suffering the same problem, still.

Anyone else been in discussion with BMW.

Cheers.
