It's called central locking and is an anti theft feature.

The majority of cars work like this. Kia, Peugeot, BMW, whatever - this is called a deadlock and is an anti-theft feature. The title of this thread is sickening and damaging, I don't see how BMW are responsible.
This has also been outlined in the owners manual, such as this extract from the F30 owners manual:
Locking from the outside
Do not lock the vehicle from the outside if
there are people in it, as the vehicle cannot be
unlocked from inside without special knowledge.
Note this BMW in question is not an F30, but a 1997 328i.
Here is an extract from the 1997 E36 Owners Manual:
Never use the keys or the remote
control to lock an occupied vehicle, as
it would then be impossible to unlock it
from inside.
Such a tragic thing to happen, must come as an awful shock for the family.
