Blood spurted out between the nail and made a nice crack sound like it broke a ligament/tendens. WTF I thought it wasn't supposed to close if there is resistance.

Can't move my thumb (happened a day ago). Just taped it up but may have to visit the doc.

So just be careful if you have the auto-close function on your BMW.
And this is why BMW disabled all the cool features on US spec cars. All it takes is ONE.
What cool features did they disable because of people's broken hands and fingers?
