I don't know about the F22/F23 but in the E46 this was caused by a worn relay on the GM5 module that controlled all the windows and door locks. There was nothing wrong with the locks or the solenoids.

I still remember the first day I took my wife for a ride on the (new to me) E46 vert. After a stop at a store I could not get the passenger door open no matter what I did and was about ready to put the top down so she could climb in the car when it decided to work. I had the car for 8 years and never did replace the GM5 module but it would act up from time to time, then work fine for a long time.
