steering wheel not adjusting to driver profile setting
Has anyone experienced an issue when they enter the car and start it that the steering wheel sits in the up position and doesn't lower/adjust as set by the driver profile? In my case it happens about 1 in 4 times I enter the car, however if I manually press the #1 on the door the wheel will tilt as programmed. Seems 1 in 4 times it just doesn't activate the preset settings when starting the car.
I've double checked the driver's profile and driver recognition setting and it is set to the correct profile for the key. I'm thinking the car needs a software update. Thoughts?

What I have noticed that when I start the car all good, the wheel goes down etc but not to exact position it is saved to… everytime I have to click memory 1 button manually and the steering wheel goes a little up to the position it is used to

Out of curiosity what is that iD7 release? Asking as so far nobody's reported getting an OTA on the 11/2022 release that included some additional features that were a subset of the full release for iD8.

Just checked and although the steering wheel automatically telescopes and goes down checking it against my seat #1 memory it goes lower than the setting. Never even noticed that but basically same as Justao. My guess again a software bug but in this case it just goes to the lowest possible position (tested) vs stopping at my setting which is about 2" higher. |

I also noticed mine doing this recently. If I hit the program button it would go down. And then I seem to have stopped paying attention to it with driving it less in the cold weather so I forget what happened after that.

BMW is now offering a new subscription service called “Automatic Steering System Wheel Intelligent Profile Entry”. I guess that none of you have subscribed?

I got it. It was only $28.75/mo. And, I have to say, it's worth every penny. Like Comfort Access, I will never have another car without it.

I suppose it's nice to know I'm not alone. Lol. Also might mean there is no fix, but I'll bring it up when I'm in for my first service. Thanks for the replies.

Sure will. Unless something goes wrong with the car, it'll happen during the first oil change service. Probably 4 months away from that.

oh, that's a little while yet, but at least it will be spring and I'll be driving the car again regularly by then.

Just got notification that RSU 7/2022.58 is available. My car is downloading it right now. Let's see if this changes behavior of the steering column. I'm not overly optimistic given my car already has 7/2022.40. Small jump for me.

Good luck with that as the last OTA push at least for me is 07/2021.85. Sure can force the dealer to upgrade but not doing it as even the latest "features" are not desirable vs the "hidden" features not published, i.e., further ECU tuning.

[QUOTE=bloozemanAZ;29721632]That's going to kick in the subscription for steering wheel telescoping and level adjustment.
Again, sooooo worth it. |
