So auto lock is when I'm in the car, great...

Maybe BMW need a mole in VW, a decade ago.
Auto-Lock is standard on all new G-Generation BMWs, with Comfort Access.

As you walk away from the vehicle, it auto-locks and as you get back closer, it unlocks, with the Welcome Lights.

It sounds cool in theory but in practice, it can get annoying; everytime you walk by your car, in the garage or on the street, you hear the vehicle unnecessarily locking/unlocking. I switch it off and went back old school, door handle methods, à la the M2's MO.
