In my experience, especially with the card key, you need to press it directly on the door handle for about a second.

Not true with key or phone proximity.

Right, that’s why I mentioned the key card specifically.

OK Thanks. Are you suggesting I use the key card or that the operation isn't right on that as well?

Probably a glitch in the system going into full sleep mode when the modules that detect the key and/or receive signals are supposed to stay awake. Glitches aren’t something new in every BMW I have, unfortunately.

The issue is that BMW isn’t very active in terms of fixing glitches via OTA. You rarely ever see an OTA that claims it was to fix bugs and glitches.

I love my BMWs; but they aren’t the best in terms of glitches. Carplay restarts, phone suddenly disconnects or never connects sometimes, car doesn’t auto-lock as I walk-away, etc.

Recently, the menu for seats automatic heating/cooling based on temperature set-point disappeared completely!!!!

Right-On! Unfortunately, the problem keeps returning and I may try a reset if it keeps up. I have named my X7 "BOB" which stands for Bundle Of Bugs

I have experienced that car do not unlock in case i leave iphone with digital key in car and stay with iwatch which also has digital key close to car when its locked. Problem is solved if i walk little bit further away and then coming back it unlocks.

I did not get what you wrote about temperature set heating/cooling as this feature was removed with i drive 8. Now all is "automatic" but you cant set as in i drive 7 particular temperature to trigger action.
