First major issue, after pairing my iPhone and Watch and turning on the "Comfort Access" setting to lock/unlock my car when I'm nearby, the car went NUTS anytime I'd walk away from it. When I came home, I kept the car running while I ran and got glovebox things, my rubber floor mats, etc. Every time I stepped 5 feet away from the car, the horn would honk 2-3 times (very loud). I left the key and phone in the car thinking it was that, but it still happened. It was enough that my neighbors texted and asked me to stop honking the horn. Only later, I figured out my paired Apple Watch was detecting me walking away. This is WAY too sensitive. I've now turned Comfort Access off as it was ridiculous. Similarly, if I walked near the closet by my garage, I'd hear the car unlock. I'll stick to contact on the door handle. BMW can learn a lot from Tesla on how to control proximity based locking/unlocking.
