Next, so you're saying that since everyone does it, no one is responsible?
I am not sure if the girls parents would agree with you.
Finally, if you propose a better title that still captures the reality of the situation, I will amend my post.

"Girl dies in BMW" or "Girl dies in car", not "BMW Kills". They did not proactively kill a young girl - unless you are a sensationalist tabloid writer.
I'm not playing the blame game, I'm not saying no one is responsible - that's a ludicrous, and again, sensational question I will not answer. Moreover, I'm not in a position to answer.
However, soley placing the blame on BMW as your title strongly infers is unacceptable. Especially as this is outlined in the owners manual and has been a feature of most cars for as long as I can remember.

Lol, I see. So that "stupid" little 14 year old forgot to read the manual and done cooked herself in a car---heaven forbid we mention it was a BMW.
No, I rather subscribe to the truth. The BMW did it. And a beautiful little girl was killed at the hands of a design decision.

Absolutely not, but I'm not having this discussion with you if you're just going to sensationalise everything and attempt to paint me out as the bad guy.
I am relaying facts from the company's liability perspective, and from this point of view, I fail to see how BMW are responsible when they have explained the system and scenario.

First, you are not a bad guy. You see this differently than me. That's what this board is for.
Second, I see this from the perspective of the family.
But, someone made a great point, who leaves a 14 year old in the car? Had it been a two year old we would not be arguing the merits of central locking. We would be focused on the parents.
But, should the central locking system prevent a 14 year old from surviving? Had she been 16 she might have kicked out the window. But 14 is borderline between child and older kid.
