320d es Automatic Locking

ChrisSutton · 10-20-2005, 11:06 AM

Hi guys,

I'm in the UK and have just picked up a 320d es. I thought there was feature where when the car starts moving the doors automatically lock? How do you activate this?

Cheers,

Chris.

I know the UK has been having problems with this feature in most of their BMW models

Maybe a UK member can confirm if they have it.

Do you have Navigation ?

I you have iDrive, its a menu setup otherwise it may be a dealer setup.

Chat to your dealer about it. Hopefully they can do it....

A UK dealer told me...

that whilst this feature was on E46 it will not be on E90 until September build cars. Looks like they are Service packing the thing already. Quite why such a basic thing was missed out I dont know.

I would imagine that since the whole car seems to be software configured that when you take the car in for its first service you could ask to have this functionality applied and turned on.

I read on this forum and others where you could have this option turned on. I took mine in today and was told they couldn't do it and after much discussion they fiannaly agreed they could. Now I have auto locks, but they mess up my auto headlights. When I turn on the auto headlight the rear lights, dash lights and outside headlights come on, even during the day. I know they can also enable the daytime running light feature, but daytime running light should not turn on your rear and dash lights and I believe they are only supposed to turn on the inside lights, not the xenon's. I'm calling them again tomorrow to see what can be done.
