Is this a common problem with BMW or is it just me?

Hi There,
I purchased a 2012 528 just last week, and this same issue happened to me on my first drive to work! I started a thread on this topic last week. I took it back to my dealer, and they had everything checked, but they're telling me that they don't see anything wrong. I still don't understand how it's possible for a fully closed door to pop open by itself without either something causing it or for the latch to have an issue.. Doors are designed to not pop open while driving!
I also filed a complaint with the NHTSA. I have a feeling this is a systemic issue. If you've had this issue, please report it to the NHTSA at the following link:
