I've reserved an M3 and am expecting delivery soon - but as I started looking through the manual tonight to prepare, I noticed that the rear doors don't have a manual handle or release that can be used in an emergency that cuts power to the doors!
Safety is one big reason for my purchase (both preventive and structural), and given the other safety-focused features and design, this seems like a huge oversight and problem - particularly since I often have rear seat passengers.
I'm currently regretfully planning to cancel my reservation.
If anyone else here has considered the safety implications of the lack of a manual rear door release in an emergency where battery power is lost, would appreciate any insights/thoughts.
Thank you.
