THE DRIVER'S INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE, WHICH IS PLASTIC, BROKE OFF IN MY HAND WITHOUT OPENING THE DOOR AS I ATTEMPTED TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. ACCORDING TO A BMW INTERNET FORUM THAT I MONITOR, THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS MODEL. THIS EVENT REQUIRES THE DRIVER TO EITHER LOWER THE POWER WINDOW TO ACCESS THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE, OR CLIMB OVER THE CENTER CONSOLE TO THE PASSENGER'S DOOR, OR GET ASSISTANCE FROM THE OUTSIDE IN ORDER TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED UNDER NORMAL USAGE. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT IT COULD HAVE FATAL CONSEQUENCES.*AK
