Surely the system uses the memory from the key that was used to unlock the car - given you can choose if the seats move on unlocking or opening the door...

Not exactly the memory from the key but the personalisation number from the key.

This is what a BMW document says:

The personalisation number is vehicle to call up the Key Memory settings in the vehicle. On unlocking with the remote control, the remote control transmits the personalisation number to the CAS. The CAS forwards the number across the data buses to the other control units. On receipt of the personalisation number, the individual control units implement the settings set in the Key Memory.

And the same document says the ignition lock reads the Key Number (1 to 10) rather than the Personalisation number (1 to 4).

Each key remembers the settings for both seats, that's a total of four per key.

The manual states that you can have 4 keys. You get two with the car and you can order 2 more from BMW that can store settings in memory. You can have 4 different settings for 4 different drivers with 4 different keys. The way I understand it, each key holds just preferences for 1 person.

A max total of 4 keys, that's correct.
Each key remembers its seat memory positions - two on each seat.
That is 4 seat positions (two on each seat) per key, four keys total times four, 16 seat memory settings in total.
