My car door flew open!!!...
Okay, keep in mind I have keyless-go, so I have that little button on the inside of my handle that pops my door open when you press it. So, I was on my way to class this morning and as I was rounding a curve, I hear that sound of when the door pops open when you press the button and the message door open pops up on my Information center. I then notice my door FLYS open. I freaked out because they're was an on-coming car, so I pulled over so I could shut it and it wouldn't close. Finally!, it closed and everything went back to normal! Talk about WEIRD!

Holy crap..this car is like getting more and more scary.....so now when I take the kids to the mall there is a chance.
1) Brakes will fail
2) Doors will fly open
3) Car will stall at a moments notice
Am I missing anything. I am convinced the is E55 automotive heroin....I keep saying I am gonna sell it, and there I am again knocking at Cory from Klemmann's door at 3am....."Come on mannnn, just one more mod...this is LAST time..I promise". Race gas tracks on my arms....

Keyless-GO was the only option I insisted the car DIDN'T HAVE when I was looking for the E55 (pano roof was a close second).
Everytime I hear the word Keyless-GO it's always next to something scary that happens (car stalls, door flies open.. geez...).
If this car had WIRED braking system I would be overjoyed. That's the only thing that terrifies me about my car. I drive fast ALOT and the brake-by-wire scares me (when I remember to worry about it).
Sorry to hear this happened but I am glad you didn't get hurt.

Well, I finally figured it out, why she keeps breaking. A couple of weeks ago, my local BMW dealer got a new Black M5 in and I wanted to go see it in person. 
Well, I took her with me, and I think she overheard me say that it looked sexy, and she's been mad at me. So, I went to the garage and appologized and gave her a nice car wash and got her all prettied up. I think she accepted...

Well I had an even weirder experience about 2 weeks ago. I was going through a drive thru at Wendy's and when I left the window and approached the driveway to the road a guy was walking across the sidewalk so I stood on the break and stopped the car for him to walk across. And like half a second later the car just revs itself and I feel it start to try and break loose from the brakes so I just push harder on the brakes and it stopped revving and didn't go anywhere. Scared the hell out of me as I thought I was going to run this guy over. He must have thought I was a nutter or something...
Anyone had this problem??

Today I got in my car and the door open indicator came on. So I reached back and closed the rear door. Then it came on again, and I could hear the rear door open, so I closed it again. The light kept coming on. I parked, went inside the bank, and when I restarted the car it didnt happen. What could cause this? I don't want my door opening while driving down the highway lol.

Exerpt from the movie:She'll possess you. Then destroy you. She's death on wheels...
Plot:
A nerdish boy buys a strange car with a evil mind of its own and his nature starts to change to reflect it...Sounds eerily similar to the average E55k owner..lol Just kidding, I kid, I kid...
