VincentHannah wroteFrom iX3 owners manual - Comfort exit PrincipleTriple-post combo
If you use your phone as the key it should unlock the door on approach using UWB.
In terms of 'comfort access' moving the seats back and forward automatically, I don't believe it does do this. Some quirk about BMWs and safety for rear passengers.
If your partner isn't going to drive it, you could set the memory seats #1 for your driving position and #2 for getting in and out.
The comfort exit setting makes it easier to get
in and out of the vehicle as the seat position is
automatically adjusted and the seat is moved
back to a certain position. The comfort exit set-
ting is stored in the active BMW ID or in the
active driver profile.
If comfort exit is deactivated, the seat position
stored in the active BMW ID or driver profile
is retained. When the BMW ID or driver profile
is changed, the seat position of the assigned
BMW ID or driver profile is adjusted automatically.
Activating/deactivating comfort exit
1. To activate or deactivate the comfort exit
function, go to the following menu path: My
Vehicle menu / "Seats".
2. Select the desired seat.
3. "Comfort exit".
4. Select the desired setting.

onesoul wrotenobody "needs" it, but some of those who have had it in other vehicles like the feature and it costs almost nothing to implement if you already have electronically controlled seats in the vehicle.Do we really need comfort exit in this vehicle? I feel like I have plenty of room as it is
onesoul wrotecomfort exit kills the electric motor, with my 2022 5 series you want to make sure you don't own the car past the warranty period. perhaps BMW has realised this issue and improved the motor, hopefullyDo we really need comfort exit in this vehicle? I feel like I have plenty of room as it is
OHV_44 wroteare you able to give us a summary?A very interesting technical report. Unfortunately, it's only available in German.
if it's information packed then don't bother, i guess i can get youtube to AI translate and read the subtitles - will add it to the watch list!
when is your car arriving?
And, most importantly, that 20-inch tires offer significantly more comfort.
G30M wroteHe is showing an iX3 that's in various states of disassembly for training purposes. What this is showing off is that the Neue Klasse is cell-to-pack and pack-to-open-body (he doesn't use those terms). In other words, since there are no modules in the battery pack and no skateboard body with the pack mounted underneath, you can get at the components more easily. It's a heavily simplified architecture.are you able to give us a summary?

Most of his talking is about himself, his channel, jobs in Switzerland, and apricot juice. Nothing you're missing there.
OHV_44 wroteOHV_44 could you copy link to latest manual pleaseThe current manual from II/26 no longer mentions the comfort exit.
robe033 wroteDid you sort this?It is unlocking car everytime I go anywhere need it, even in house
From Gemini so not sure if it does apply, but
In BMW's newest operating systems, they added a geofencing feature specifically for Comfort Access. You can tell the car to leave proximity unlocking turned on everywhere in the world except when it is parked at your house.
Here is how you will set it up once you get the car:
- Step 1: First, ensure your exact home address is saved as "Home" in the BMW Navigation system.
- Step 2: Go into your main settings menu and select "Doors and Windows", then find the "Comfort Access" section.
- Step 3: Under the "Unlock when approaching" toggle, you will see a sub-setting that says something along the lines of "Do not unlock at Home" or "Exclude Home."
The Old-School Fix: Touch to Unlock
If you find the geofencing feature a bit finicky (sometimes a software update can temporarily make it glitch out), the most bulletproof workaround that a lot of BMW owners use is to change how Comfort Access behaves entirely.
- In the same Comfort Access menu, completely disable "Unlock when approaching" but leave "Lock when walking away" enabled.

Here is how you will set it up once you get the car:Check that box, and the car will use its GPS to realize it is in your driveway. It will go into a deep sleep and completely ignore your phone as you walk around inside your house.

- Step 2: Go into your main settings menu and select "Doors and Windows", then find the "Comfort Access" section.

If you find the geofencing feature a bit finicky (sometimes a software update can temporarily make it glitch out), the most bulletproof workaround that a lot of BMW owners use is to change how Comfort Access behaves entirely.What this does: When you walk past the car, it will do absolutely nothing. It will only unlock when you physically slide your hand behind the door handle. But when you get home from a drive and walk away, it will still happily lock itself and beep to confirm it is secure.
- In the same Comfort Access menu, completely disable "Unlock when approaching" but leave "Lock when walking away" enabled.
The only way to turn off unlock on approach is using the wallet on phone.
BMW card - press i in top right
Switch passive entry off.
Doors still unlock when pressed
I ask because I believe the phone automatically unlocks your car within 3 metres and I spend most of my day within 3 metres of my drive, as my home office is at the front of house near the driveway.
