About Central Locking Control units

The BMW central locking control unit is used to lock/ unlock all of the doors in the vehicle. It is operated by pressing a button on your vehicle’s key or fob. Some keys or key fobs have a separate button to unlock and lock the boot. Otherwise the BMW central locking control unit will also lock/unlock the boot when the other doors open. 

There is one master control unit for central locking and another unit for each of the vehicle’s doors. These are mounted under the vehicle’s door trim and attached to the master control unit which is powered by the 12v battery.

If a BMW central locking control unit is showing signs of failure you may find that the central locking on your vehicle works intermittently. This suggests that there is a problem either with the wiring or electrical components of the unit. If left without repair this could cause a complete failure of the BMW central locking control unit, which could leave you unable to fully lock the vehicle, leading to issues of security. Alternatively, all of the doors in your vehicle could lock, meaning you can only access the vehicle by using the key.

BMW trivia

• The famous German pilot, the Red Baron, called BMW engines the 'greatest in the world' and ‘the best engine in the war’.
• The main headquarters for BMW in Munich is designed and shaped to look like car parts. There was a whole new 'four-cylinder' building added on in 1973, and there's definitely the look of an engine about the architecture.
• The BMW company was founded way back in 1916 and originally manufactured engines for planes. High demand for plane engines during WWI was good news for BMW, but they carried on making plane engines right up until 1945.
• Electric cars might be all the rage now, but BMW built their first one in 1972 and called it the BMW 1602e. It didn't quite make it to market though, thanks to the fact that it could only hold a twenty-minute charge.
• The BMW 3.0CSL was sold in the 70s and had the unusual addition of a spoiler that was kept in the boot. The owner could install it if they wanted to, but BMW couldn't sell the car with the spoiler attached because of road laws!
