do a search mate on central locking, its one of the most documented e30 issues.

iv had basically every central locking problem possible on my e30, an im not that electronically nor mechanically minded but have fixed them all using a screwdriver and some patience.

to point you in the right direction, the ECU could be at fault. alternatively, brians genius red and black wire mod may also help.
