It is hard for someone to lock the car without a key if I leave them in the car for a moment as I dash inside a store and they decide to come in later. Even if you have comfort access, this is a concern. Passenger door can be lockable, edit.
I believe that once I have left the car, I must either press the button on the remote control or insert the key into the door. Clearly, I’m missing something. Thank you.

To lock the automobile from outside, you need the key. It stops you from leaving the key inside the vehicle. Even with comfort access, locking the doors from outside requires the key to be close to the car.
Nothing happens when you push the actuator. even if you simultaneously tug on the handle.
According to other forums I’ve read, this is done on purpose to avoid lockouts. When the passenger door is open, the dash button will lock it, at least on older BMW models. With this automobile, it’s most likely the same.

Can BMW keyless entry be disabled?
There is no need to fiddle with a key to start the engine because your BMW comes equipped with our Comfort Go system as standard. The ignition can be turned on by merely pushing the Start Stop button once while the key fob is still in the vehicle. The engine remains off but all systems start up. By depressing the brake pedal and then pushing the Start Stop button, the ignition and engine are started simultaneously. For models with manual transmissions, just depress the clutch pedal while applying pressure to the brake pedal, and then push the Start Stop button. Your BMW has an Auto Start Stop function that turns the engine off when you brake to a standstill, such as waiting in traffic or at a light, in order to minimize fuel consumption and emissions. The moment you let up on the brake pedal to resume moving, the engine fires up. Simply tap the tiny button located above or next to the Start Stop button to disable this feature if you wish. The Auto Start Stop feature has been turned off, according to an LED light. To reactivate, merely push the button once more. For comfort or safety, there are several circumstances under which Auto Start Stop won’t turn off the engine or when it will. The owner’s manual contains a complete description of these conditions. Keep the brake pedal depressed while stationary and push the Start Stop button to completely turn off the engine. The controls and audio outputs will continue to function. When the handbrake is engaged and the proper gear is chosen, it is safe to get out of the car. When the car is locked, the music and display are then turned off.
How is a Smart car manually locked?
How To Lock And Unlock Your Smart
The current smart key has three buttons, and your car should come with two of these keys.
Press and release button B once to unlock the automobile. The car will flash each of its indicators once to let you know when it has unlocked.
Press and release button A once to lock the automobile. The car will flash the indicators three times to let you know when it has locked.
When the lock button is hit, the indicators should flash twice. If they only flash once, one of the doors or the boot is not closed completely. Make sure the boot and both doors are properly closed before attempting to lock the car once more.
The key fob’s battery needs to be changed as soon as possible if the indicators flash nine times. The battery will have enough power to lock and unlock the car for about 100 additional times after this.
You can learn how to replace the key battery by clicking here. Since the boot can be opened with the key, it is a good idea to keep an extra battery there.
If my BMW has keyless entry, how do I know?
1. Verify whether the top of the handle by the lock on your external door handles has a few ridges (2). These raised lines serve as the contact point to touch when you lock the doors because the BMW Comfort Access system does not have automatically locking doors.
The smart opener that unlocks your car uses a second sensor (1) that is also part of the BMW Comfort Access door handle. However, because these sensors are hidden, it’s simpler to look for ridges near the lock on your automobile door handle.
2.) You can also use a free online BMW VIN decoder to check a vehicle’s VIN number for keyless entry and look for the S322A option to see if it has Comfort Access.
However, it’s crucial to keep in mind that this approach only reveals whether a BMW had Comfort Access installed at the factory. Even though the S322A option might not be present, the prior owner may have retrofitted Comfort Access into the vehicle.
