Hi everyone, Could someone tell me whether it is possible to lock the doors via the tailgate with comfort access? I don't see a button on the rear hatch handle like I do on the side door handles (raised ridges on door handle). Thanks!
 
I haven't found a way to lock the doors from the tailgate other than pulling out my fob and pressing the lock button. However, if one locks the doors by touching the lock area on a door handle, then unlocks the tailgate, and then shuts the tailgate, the doors and tailgate will be locked. You can verify this by paying attention to the lock indicator (flashing lights and/or beeping horn). If the lock indicator occurs when one closes the tailgate, everything is locked. If it doesn't occur, one must manually lock the doors.
 
Thanks, Alohart. It's kind of strange that BMW didn't design a lock button on the tailgate handle, but I guess that's the way it is.
