Vehicle Memory, Key Memory How the system functions You have probably frequently wished 
that you could configure individual 
functions of your vehicle to reflect your 
own personal requirements. In engi-
neering your vehicle, BMW has 
included several user-defined func-
tions in the vehicle's design. Your 
BMW Sports Activity Vehicle center can 
make these settings for you. 
There are vehicle and person-related 
adjustments: Vehicle Memory and Key 
Memory. You can have up to four differ-
ent basic positions configured for four 
different persons. The only requirement 
is that each person uses his or her own 
remote control key. 
When your vehicle is unlocked with the 
remote control, the vehicle recognizes 
the individual user by means of a data 
exchange with the key, and makes 
adjustments accordingly.
In order for you to distinguish between 
the master keys with remote control, 
color-coded decals are supplied 
together with the keys.
What the system can doYour BMW Sports Activity Vehicle cen-
ter can provide you with details on the 
capabilities of the Vehicle Memory and 
Key Memory systems.
You will see this symbol through-
out the Owner's Manual. It is to 
remind you at appropriate places of the 
settings that are available to you.<
Following configuration of the 
memory functions, vehicle opera-
tion may differ from the description in 
the Owner's Manual. Should you want 
to sell your BMW some day, please 
remember to have the memory func-
tions reset to the default state.<
Examples for Vehicle Memory:
>Various signals that can serve as 
acknowledgment for locking and 
unlocking the vehicle, refer to 
pages31, 33
>Deactivating/activating the Pathway 
lighting function, refer to page103.
Examples for Key Memory:
>Automatic adjustment of the driver's 
seat, exterior mirror and steering 
wheel with settings stored in the 
memory for the individual driver when 
the vehicle is unlocked, refer to 
page51
>Calling up customized settings for 
the automatic climate control when 
unlocking the vehicle, refer to 
page112.
