I did the same thing to my wife and I was inside the store and she was sitting there with the alarm going off and people looking at her.

Ahah well you are lucky you wife doesn't have a key. Mine has one, and it's now becoming a stupid procession to get to the car to make sure the seat is in the position we want to. If I drive and she arrives at the car first, the seat moves all the way to 'her' position, and I have to open the car, close it, lock it, unlock it so the seat goes back to MY position.
Quite frankly that "comfort access" is a bit shitty -- the old X3 didn't have 'profiles' we just had my and her's seat position 'saved' on each keys and that was all that was needed. Now I don't even KNOW what is saved, where, when.

I love this feature although its not perfect.
It works for me about 95% of time and I always look back to make sure its locked, a old habit from my previous car where I had to lock using FOB. Don't want to give up 95% comfort for the issue faced 5% of time. |

Another 'feature' of comfort access I discovered this morning...
+ Get in the car, Start it + Remember you want something off the back seat + Get out of the car (engine on, door closed, key in pocket) + Try to open the rear car door... The car actually started honking at me, triggering the alarm! That was bloody popular; the screen said "Keyfob not detected"..

I’ve had that one also, gives two loud honks on the horn. What with this, the crazy locking and unlocking if you stay nearby and the locking your family in when you go and pay for fuel (turned out to not be popular!) I’ve turned auto lock off now.
I’ll review and when I’m more happy with the scenarios I might reenable it in the future. |

The seat button memories are separate from he remote fob memories...so if you wife comes back to the car first and unlocks it...but she's sitting on the passenger side but the driver's seat moved to her setting...if you programmed (lets say) button #2 for your seat seating (and she's #1)...then all you have to do is press the #2 seat memory button vs the lock/unlock dance you mentioned in your quote.

I live in a rural area and leave my fob in the car overnight and for days ALL the time. It has never done that. I have the spare in the house so could open it if I wanted to, but if I were you I’d search the doors and locks settings. That could be so so bad if you are away from home. |

Driver Profile not linked when using auto open
Hi guys,
I recently got a 2020 X5 M50i and I absolutely love it. No major issues except for one minor problem - I have 2 separate keys linked to me and my wife's Driver Profiles which works perfectly when pressing the open button on the key or grabbing the knob, but do not work when using the auto open function. Is this a normal behavior or am I missing something? |

Hi, just got my 45e two weeks ago.
Today I noticed that the driver window had been slightly open over the night. Is there any option to auto close windows as can be done with the sunroof? I.e. not using the key fob separately? |

You can see in the app if the windows are closed but you would have to close them your self (hanging out of the window of your house with your key). The app fooled me a couple of times in the beginning showing the doors were not locked when they actually were locked when I went back. Seems to be solved. |

We have ours set up to only unlock so I always lock the car with comfort access or the fob. We park in our garage and I routinely leave the car or am walking in the house before my slow kids are done getting out of the car so auto locking would be a PITA for me.

Today my upper tailgate lock button wouldn't work at all! I've just coming to realize technology is sometimes inconsistent. so what I ended up doing was pressing the tailgate close button and then locking the vehicle by my fob. System is kind of hit-or-miss.

Previously, I had my X7 set to unlock AND Lock the vehicle when you approach or depart. When it was set this way the puddle lights would come on as I approached the vehicle. However, I got tired of the vehicle locking/unlocking/locking/unlocking every time I walked by the vehicle with my keys in my pocket or keys in my wife's purse.
So, I changed it to lock only when walking away from the vehicle but not unlock the vehicle when I approach. When it's in this setting the puddle lights no longer come on when I approach the vehicle. They only come on after I grab the door handle. DAHH...! WTF is the purpose of that? If I'm already at the vehicle why in the hell do I need the puddle lights on? The puddle lights should turn on as I approach whether or not I have it set to unlock the vehicle or not. That's how every other vehicle I've owned works. Toyota, Ford, Subaru, etc. The purpose of the puddle lights are so you can see the ground around your vehicle so you don't step in a puddle, dog poo, or some other mess on the ground BEFORE I step in it not after! Another technology bug that needs to get fixed. BMW needs to be more diligent in their testing procedures. |

The vehicle will only lock automatically if the fob is detected after all door points are closed. If you start walking away while passengers are closing their doors, it will likely lose the fob signal before all of the doors are closed and thus will NOT lock. Same thing with the trunk, if you push the close button (not lock) and walk away before it completes closing, the car will not lock. I'm not sure if the OP uses the lock button on the upper liftgate but that's what I do while closing it and walking away to ensure a lock.

Yeah, I have it on my list of issues to get addressed on my first service. I'm not counting on an update fixing it but I'm going to make sure they document it. Hopefully, they're already aware of the issue and are already working on it. I'm on 07/2019.59.
