I'm going to assume that the other doors unlock just fine. There are motor assemblies with accuator rods that work the locking mechanism inside the door when the switch or remote is used. Not the manual lock button itself specific to that door. That probably works fine. Sometimes these actuator rods become unhooked or the motors themselves fail. This sounds like a faulty motor assembly. you must hit unlock twice to unlock all the vehicle doors and your vehicle has driver comfort controls your seat positions radio goes to the channel you have preselcted and the side mirrors adjust for you heres were you get the grinding noise as you press unlock on your remote look at the passenger side mirror it will be going threw a spasm over there lol not sure why maybe the motor or rods as previously stated my solution replace the whole mirror.
Try unlocking either the driver's door or the liftgate with the key.
Wheel bearings, and if they're making that kind of noise your spindles could be shot by now too.
yes sounds like a wheelbearing get it checked before it tears up your spindle
most likely the drivers master switch is bad but befor you replace it check you power and ground wires that connect the door to the body

This is called "selective central unlocking" and is programmed under "Key Memory Options" by your BMW dealer.
This is the 1st indicator that the POWER LOCK Motor is about top go out. If it is grinding on open & close then more than likely the teeth are grinding down on the gears. Replacing A.S.A.P. will eliminate the possibility of the Driver being locked out by remote and reling on the key to unlock for entry.
Typically, when you turn the key once in the driver's door, it unlocks the driver's door. If you turn the key twice, it unlocks all the doors.

Are the keys in the ignition? If so all you have to do is take them out when you open the door.
