Unlock all doors when ignition off?
The only thing that drives me nuts about this car, is that when I turn the car off, the other 3 doors on the car stay locked. Add the fact that the door lock button is in the middle of the car, it's a pain in the ass. Every other vehicle would unlock the doors when the vehicle was off/in park.
Can this be done without coding? |

I agree, it's one of the most annoying things about owning a BMW/Mini. I'm not aware of how to change it without coding.
I had my car coded a few weeks ago and that solved this problem. Honestly that was probably the main reason for having my car coded by V12. So many times I'd forget something in the trunk and my keys were in the house. I'd come out and I'd have to open the car to hit the trunk release button. No longer. |

what do u mean guys??? in US you dont have that option?
you go to settings then you find a submenu with "...locks" and then you choose wether you want only driver's door to unlock or all 4 doors to unlock and why you guys need all 4 doors to unlock? if you need to pick up something from back seat, you pull the door handle with key in your pocket and door unlocks anyway! |

we are all different, no other explanation
i only see my key before i leave home and once i am back and definitely know i am not leaving tonight anymore, then i take my key out after i lock my car with touch of a finger on the door handle, i press lock button on the key to activate this "extra protection" on alarm and alarm light stays on for couple of seconds never touch my key during day |

you can test it yourself lock the car with 1 or all windows open, get your hand inside the car from outside and pull the door handle from inside, it will unlock the door with first pull and will open it with second pull, obviously keep the key far away from the car now do the same, after red light comes on and stays there for couple of seconds, you wont be able to unlock the door from inside. i have just realised that if somebody would break a window, they can try to open it with a center console button, but i am not sure it is going to work. will test it today i dont have any documentation, just my observation and i sleep better at night, if i "lock it twice". i am sure if one reads the manual, there is something about it let me know if you find any info on that |

I agree with this. Not as big an issue if you drive a fair amount every day on the highway but for those of us in the city this is a problem for all new BMWs that don't really shut down completely unless locked.

If you do that in the UK, do not let the insurance co know.

Switching off the tilt alarm sensor and interior motion sensor Press the remote control button (lock) again within 10 seconds as soon as the vehicle is locked. The indicator lamp lights up for approx. 2 seconds and then continues to flash. The tilt alarm sensor and interior motion sensor are switched off until the vehicle is locked again. |
