2022 X3 Automatic unlocking when in Park

I've got a 2022 X3 and trying to set it to unlock automatically when I switch transmission into Park. The manual says that when going to CAR->Settings->Doors/ vehicle access, I can select the desired settings:
▷ "Unlock doors when in Park"
▷ "Unlock at end of trip"

However, I do not see "Unlock doors when in Park". I can only see "Unlock at end of trip". Am I missing something?

There is no option which says "Unlock doors when in Park". May be it is a common text and other models have it. But choosing the option "Unlock at end of trip" should be good for you to unlock all the doors as soon as you park the car and press the P button.

Hope this helps!

When the option "Unlock at end of trip" is selected, the doors are unlocked ONLY after turning the car off. Switching to Park does not unlock the doors.

BMW manuals are for the world and they clearly state that functions described in the manual may not be available in your particular car. This unlock in P is not something I've ever seen though it might be available in the EU for example.

On my 2011 M3 the manual described folding the side mirrors when the the car is locked but that was not available here in the US so I had the car coded to fold the mirrors.
