Check wiring to starter or its relay

Sound like a battery problem. How old is your battery?

I have had similar problems

When unlock the doors suddenly 3 secs after all doors unlocked my passenger door will lock automatically and I can't crank the car.

Even when u try to unlock either manually or by key it will lock the passenger door and refuse to start

New Batt n Starter motor replaced but still persist

Could it be the Central locking module, mine is a 2 door still can't find a used unit yet

If you think it is the central locking module aka GM4 module, then you unplug it. Your car can still function except you loose the function of the door locking and power window.

Jarance I need the module for a 2 door coupe, any leads?

If I am not mistaken, 4 door GM4 module can use for 2 doors but not the other way round.

check "BMW Fans" website for the part number to be sure.

check ur battery , then crank sensor , then only ur starter wiring .... dismantle the battery for 1 hours should help to reset ur car setting afterall.
