Hi just posting if anyone has had the same issue..we recently had a clubman in for rear qtr body work and door damage etc. It was all repaired until the owner tried the rear door release from the fob and it wouldn’t open. Is there a setting, issue or problem people have come across?
I’ve been told by the customer it was working prior to the accident but we had no way of checking it as the rear doors wouldn’t open.
Any advice appreciated

There is a fob setting that only allows rear doors to be opened from the fob when the other doors are unlocked, this is to stop them accidentally opening when a key is pressed in a pocket.

Depending on software version this can either be set from the screen or requires the use of something like bimmercode to modify.

Think there was an issue with doors not opening from the fob. I had mine back to the dealer with that issue and they claimed they did nothing but the seals had been dressed with something, I’ve since kept them clean with whatever cleaner I’ve got to hand. I think there was a tech note about doors falling out of alignment and requiring realignment.
