I've done my due diligence - I used the search tool but haven't been able to find this answer. Apologies upfront this is an obvious thing:

Have a 2007 750 li. Only had it since July. I like the feature of doors locking automatically after I get in a car, especially if my wife ever drives the car. My BMW does not do this and I am just wondering if it is supposed to and this feature is just not working on my vehicle.

Thanks in advance,
Dave

Hi.

Have you tried the car's user manual? The "Settings" section may describe how to enable this feature if your car has it to start with.

Cheers.

Nothing in the manual about doors automatically locking or not - just 20 ways to lock or unlock them...

Can anyone tell me if their BMW doors automatically lock after starting the car - 7 series or other? Or just when the shut the doors?

Thanks

I'm sure the dealer can program them to lock for you

feature is automatic locking
it is not in your 2007 owner's manual

From the 2014 M5 manual:

Automatic locking
The setting is stored for the remote control currently in use.
1. "Settings"
2. "Doors/key"
3. Select the desired function:
▷ "Lock if no door opened"
The vehicle locks automatically after a
short period of time if a door is not
opened.
▷ "Lock after start driving"
The vehicle locks automatically after
you drive away.

Thanks for confirming it that it should have the feature. This will be my first BMW dealer experience.
