iDrive menu = Door Locks -> Central locking -> Select "Relock door if not opened" / The central locking system automatically locks the vehicle after a short time when no door has been opened.

This is not what the OP was hoping the car would do. He was hoping that if he forgot to lock the car after pulling up, that the car would then auto lock itself. Which as Iceman says quite correctly, is not possible.

BMW NA website does not mention anything about locking on exit with the comfort access Here . Maybe someone with comfort access could shed some more light on this subject.
