What???

Please state this in the form of a question

Late model BMW's doors lock, on some models, at 5mph. I believe the dealer can manipulate this part of the computers program.

Make sure you bring all the keys to the dealer. It is simple programming just like daytime running lights. Honestly I thought I could get used to it. But no. I am getting rid of this option. Too much hassle letting people in, opening the trunk.

I think i'm uses to it; my 03 dodge ram does it at 15mph. Put on the X5 i keep forgetting to lock the doors with the main button, So i drive around with the doors unlocked not realizing it.

I always lock my car when I am driving. I have heard of total strangers running next to your car at 60 mph, and getting in.

It's a key option. So you can ask the dealer to program only 1 key to have autolocking while leaving this feature disabled on the other key. This is what I did. So I have the option just by using the proper key.

My fiance was lucky she had her car locked while driving. She was at a light and a guy ran up to her 07 Camry and tried to get in. She quickly sped away. I don't want to know what would have happen if they were not locked.
