FYI, Don't need power to unlock car. Pull handle twice. All BMWs like this, and have been for decades. Only way to turn off this feature is in rear pax doors "child" lock is engaged.

From my experience, if the car is armed, you cannot open the car from the inside. This has been the case with our E38 7, E46 3, and probably F82 (I haven't tried it yet) -- it may be for all BMWs really. I think I read that this a safety feature to immobilize the car when armed.

Maybe in this situation, the electrical system was damaged by the fire and got out of wack, thinking it is armed.
