Anybody out there have any experience using BMW's Comfort Access
option? If so, what is your opinion? Is it worth the extra money and
does it work as advertised? I know what a dealer says but would like
some feedback from someone that has actually used it for awhile.

what's there to check out.

if you get in and out of your car many times a day or you are lazy
this saves you having to handle your keys.

it works but is it necessary, that's up to you.

Do you have it in your Bimmer? If not, the question wasn't meant for
you. I guess I am a little on the lazy side. However, I'm not too lazy
to use the "Shift" key on my keyboard. Thanks anyway for your reply.

Ah, so your name really is jerri and not Jerri then?  Your parents must
have been rather odd...

Personally I think some options on offer (Comfort access a case in
point) are offered for 2 reasons:
1) Some MPV's and other vehicles have features like this as standard,
BMW probably offers it as an option in case you have a bee in your
bonnet about having "it" because it is on another car you might be
considering.
2) Company car buyers have a certain budget to spend, most such people
will probably add on more options until their budget runs out.
You get remote control central locking as it is, with buttons of
different shapes making it easy to unlock the car without even taking
the keys out of your pocket.  Occasionally I'm carrying a child and
bags when I enter the car and still don't see the need for comfort
access.

OK so you still don't have an answer from someone who has this
option... could it be that no one bothers with it?

One appealing feature is that if you would happen to leave the key in the
trunk, it will pop open. Now, why anyone would have the key in their hand is
another question.

Thanks for your reply. The main reason I posted the question was that
a month or two ago someone posted a message that he was having trouble
with his. He didn't get any replies. Now that it has been out awhile,
I was wondering if other people are having trouble too. I'm close to
ordering my new Bimmer and was considering this option. If it has a
lot of proplems, I'll skip it and save the money. I have yet to talk
to someone who actually has it on his BMW. Thanks again.

Why do you think my name is "jerri"? It could be an acronym. But you
were right about my parents. They were very odd!
330xi@canada - 30 Nov 2005 03:16 GMT
if he was having problems, it was more likely someone who misunderstood it
or didn't bother to find out exactly how to use it.

the only problems i have heard of or witnessed is when the user has both
keys with them, it can confuse the system.
