My doors unlock automatically after I turn off the ignition.

Jayo, not that we doubt you, but are you certain? My 08 behaves the same way as most of the posts in this thread. Could you verify and confirm for us please.

It might be different in the UK models although Fastbuck was same as U.S. ...

We're due to pick up our ordered 4.8i next month even though it already arrived at the dealer and this is one 'feature' that's always annoyed me when I drive my parents' E66 750Li.

The one major downer scenario would be when we want to take our daughter out of her car seat in the back, we'll have to remember to 'pre unlock' all the time.

Question: we also ordered Comfort Access - now that it's accessible from all doors, will it allow us to unlock the other doors by pulling on the exterior door handle?

Yes.

Hi Nick,

No problem, I started to doubt myself when I saw that I was the only post to have this functionality.

So I wne out and tested it and I can confirm that after my car has locked the doors automatically, it will unlock all doors as the instant I press the Start/Stop button to switch the engine off.

I have a 2008 model, week 50 (2007) production. I also have comfort access although I doubt that this is the reason for it.

I am wondering if it's one of those country specific things. I will PM a couple of the other Uk owners who picked up their SD's around the same time as me.

I wonder if this is a dealer specific option and they could program if requested.

I can vouch for Jayo's comments as my SD also locks the doors when I move off and unlocks them when I stop the Engine.

This is set in the idrive menu. You can select whether the car unlocks just tehe drivers door or all four doors. I have mine set to just the drivers door.

I don't think that question was asked :)
