Usually from a key based setting taking over.


Mine wasn't the steering wheel was the seat but about twice a year when i unlocked the car the seat would move back about 5 inches.

I could restore my saved spot but it would do this every time i unlocked the car until "the fix".

To sync my saved spot back to my key this is what i figured out:

Get in the car, restore seat/steer to your memory position then:

Roll down your window and reach out and use the key to lock and then unlock the door.

I had to do this about once a year on average i have no idea what caused it.

The other possibility is you somehow enabled "easy entry" where the car moves the steering wheel up and the seat back every exit and entry.

I was poking around with my foxwell the other day and managed to reset a r things to fuctory (sic) defaults including that asinine behavior, only drive door unlock and a couple others.

Worse: using bimmercode the proper settings were already set just being ignored.

Bimmercode to the rescue: saved settings from January brought everything back.

(Sadly bc doesn't work on e 53).


Try the key though the window thing, i have no clue what made me decide to try that, But wow was i happy when i invented that procedure.
