Anyone's R56 programmed for one pull door release?
This is the only other issue that's a mystery. Our MA swears you can program the car or the fob so that you don't have the pull the door release twice to open the door from the inside. Like the new BMWs it can be programmed for a normal car one pull release.
Has anyone been able to program their car to do this? If so, would you be kind enough to explain the procedure?

That's an interesting question. The mechanism for pull-once=unlock is purely mechanical. The same is true on my 2004 BMW330Xi. No electrical/logical connection at all. I think this is done by design to preclude a catastrophic loss of electric power and still exit the vehicle.

The thing we really want is "auto unlock" when the car is shut off or put in park (for those with automatics).
--edit--
Now that I'm thinking about it... Fords (mainly pickups) had one-pull, unlock and open door latches.

It's actually part of the R56 cost cutting conspiracy. Auto down and auto up windows?!? Those are too expensive. Just give 'em auto down.
Now before anyone starts pointing out that R50/53 didn't have 'em either... that's no proof against the conspiracy. We R56'ers would have got them if BMW weren't such tightwads.

I for one, see your meaning but I think it's more likely a result of our demographic being more lawsuit-oriented than risk-oriented.

MINIs in the US don't have auto-up windows or sunroof because the mechanism that is required here for safety, is expensive and BMW chose to leave it out. In reality our cars can do auto-up windows and auto closing roof, but the onboard computer is programmed to prevent it. I want to hack the computer and see what fun stuff I can get the MINI to do, but I have no idea how to go about that. You can tell it works because of the design of the roof switch... it actually has four positions, open, close, auto open and auto close. However, the auto close position does nothing...
