Memory setting feature is great. I just don't need it to automatically tilt up/down, and retract/go forward upon every start and stop of the engine. Lexus does this to EVERY model, and I really hate it. Mercedes does it to most models too, but it is easily disabled, at the driver's wish. BMW allows you to disable it on the 7 and 6 Series, so it's odd that it's permanent on an SUV/truck!
Yeah, I think it is a "fat person" setting, and I'm sure old Knackers will like it too. I think the majority of X5 buyers are not that fat or old to need, or want this feature.
Also, as mentioned...the "2.6" seconds it takes is not the big deal, but it is just a matter of time before the mechanism goes out, or gets stuck!
