Key/seat memory WTF!
Jesus, what is with the damn key remote lock button and seat memory? What others said in older posts, I unlock the car with the key and the damn seat drops, moves aft, reclines and lumbar expands. I've searched here and tried everything I read to no avail. Christ, even P dealers can't solve the issue. Never had this issue with My M3 or for that matter my Ford F-150!

I solved the same problem you had I just used the other remote key the car came with and then programmed all 3 seat settings stored into memory points with new positions, case solved. Double check your work by pushing the memory buttons and see if they go where you last stored them.

The seat memory associated with each key DOES NOT EQUATE to any of the memory buttons, completely different codeset. You need to follow the procedure to set the key's seat memory position.
Oh, I use the last/highest memory button to duplicate my key memory position but with the outside mirrors tilted down ~5 degrees for night driving. The dark tinting of the rear window reduced the sensitivity of the non-glare mirror capability plus I wanted convex mirror on both sides.

There is a service bulletin about this. Apparently there are two locations in the computer where the key fob codes are stored and it is possible for the codes to be programmed in the wrong place.
i.e.: Key Fob #1 code mistakenly stored in Fob #2's location.
That is what has happened to my car. To fix the issue you have to go to the dealer and pay them for about an hour of labor to re-program the computer.
