I can close using all functions, I was told it is the way my car has been programmed and needs to be reset, it can be anoying but over all I am used to it.
I don't think they'll do anything unless your FRM is actually bad. There is an inherent flaw in the boards which is susceptible to large voltage fluctuations that I don't believe BMW ever fixed.

And it sounds like you're tailgate handle needs to be replaced, or the wiring is bad.
