Newbie F10 owner question: auto seat adjument?

Howdy

My F30's lease ended back in Oct and I decided to finally pull the trigger on the 2016 F10 (I guess the G10 will have to wait until LCI)

Been playing with the F10's features on/off for the past few months and got a question about the seats... Back in the old days (10 years ago?) mid size luxury cars like Lexus or Infiniti have the auto telescoping steering wheel and auto seat adjustment features. Basically the steering wheel will scoop up and the seat will move back when you part/turn off engine to give you space to exit. Once you start the car, the seating and steering wheel will move back to the designated position. the F10 has the auto telescoping steering wheel but I am not sure if they have the auto seat adjustment.

Just curious if such thing exist in the F10. if it does... am I just an idiot for not knowing how to set it up?

thanks a million

Its the car thats the idiot. Only the wheel tips up, the seats do nothing to assist entry.

Is there any way of turning that feature off? I tend to grab the steering wheel to exit the car and most of the time steering is still retracting.

Easy / Entry Can be coded. I am looking forward to the G30 as well, but will be getting into an LCI.

I tried and all I got was the steering wheel movement. The seat doesn't move...

There are adjustments for restriction range (ie distance from end of track).
