BMW doesn't talk about it much since the E34 days when they were separate buttons on the key remote, but this won't work if the car was locked from the remote the last time. I remember playing with this a bunch on my E39, and it was clearly audible with the different design in my E90.
Locking from the central lock button while in the car is a "single lock" and the doors can be opened from the inside with a double pull. Locking from the remote and arming the alarm is a "double lock" and the doors will not open with a double pull from the inside.
When "double locked" the actuator and lock mechanism rotate a different amount in a different direction and it disconnects all of the rods and bowden cables so they can't be snagged with a slim jim to open the door.
So - if you're having any issues with door lock actuators - don't wait.
