Is there a way to set your driver seat to automatically move back upon exiting? Headrest moves back but not the seat.

Odd how a Maxima automatically does that but a BMW M5 doesn’t.

I don't think that there is an 'exit' setting. But, it looks like you have an F10 M5 so they might know more in that section. F10 M5 Forum

However, you could set your second memory seat setting to further back.

This was the first thing that annoyed me when I got the M5.

I configured button number 2 so that the seat goes back and the steering column goes all the way in to have more room to enter/exit the vehicle.

Pretty annoying but I got used to it.

Mine does it. It’s an 2018. Called easy in easy out seat feature.

My 2021 only tilts the steering wheel all the way up. Is there a way to get it to move the seat back automatically?

Oz m5 it’s automatic on my car. Both the seat and steering move to my memory seat button. Ive tried finding how to turn it off and nothing bc my seat back squeaks sometimes w all the back and forth.

He is not asking about memory seats.

He is asking once you open the door what will happen.

So does your seat move when your leaving out of the car?????

[EPTXM5]

Yes when I open the door and remove my seat belt the seat moves back and steering wheel move up

I have a 2021 and the following is in the instruction manual.

To make it easier to enter and exit the vehicle, the steering wheel moves temporarily into the upper position.

I could not find any mention of the seat moving. In my car only the steering wheel moves as described.

It is buried under the "Upper Backrest" Section:

General information
If the driver's door is opened when the drive-
ready state is switched off, the upper backrest
moves into the basic setting


This annoys me because the backrest moving makes it hard for my kid to get out of her car seat.

It took a while to figure this out:

1. The seating wheel moves based on pressing the ignition (off or on)
2. The backrest moves based on buckling the seatbelt or opening the door.

#GermansMakingStuffOverlyComplex


My procedure is:
1. Get in car
2. Close door (gently because soft close)
3. Press ignition
4. Buckle belt
5. Wait for seat to reach position (sometimes it does not, in that case press the #1 seat button)
6. Wait for cold start to end
7. Release Parking Brake
8. Shift into gear
9. Request clearance to push back

My driving position is the steering wheel set to the highest point, so when I enter or exit the car nothing moves, I would love to have the seat move back automatically when exiting and move forward after I get in the car and press the start button. If anyone know how to set this up, please give your help.

Call me old fashioned but I would not want it to move every time I exit as this would put unnecessary wear and tear on the motor.
