Very pleasing to hear about the ride comparison. The iX1 was very firm, my wife and I test drove one of those last year.

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.

Older people with mobility issues might need it, to be fair.

Yes personally don't need comfort exit, but appreciate those who do. Unlock on approach, and walk away lock are more important.

He thinks the car is fairly easy to repair.
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.
