The start/stop buttons will get a new part number, if not fixable with software.

Parking sensors need to be addressed in firmware.
Yes, soft close doors popping open is a much more serious issue. There was obviously something wrong with the locks when they issued the recall for the rear door child locks being able to be overridden but with that one you at least had to pull the door handle for it to maybe happen. Having doors just open, albeit onto the latch, by themselves is much more scary and I'm surprised that BMW haven't done something about it yet given how litigious the US is.
