folks i see this a lot. everyone needs to remember that each key is programmed for each person. jsut becasue you program one key for you doesnt mean the other person gets the same programming. Some things (but not all) are:

mirror locations
seat locations
radio memory buttons
vehicle functions such as triple turn signal function, lock/unlock, delayed entry exit.
trip computer settings
etc.

After any kind of power loss or ECU upgrade i have spent a half hour reprogramming each remote to the previous settings. why BMW doesnt back these values up before doing the upgrade is beyond me but neverthelesss i just do it over. One key then the next.

the most annoying thing for me is sometimes when my wife drives the vehicle i goto change the radio channel to something i like and when i press the button my station is not there. that is because her programming is seperate from mine. kind of convenient i guess but takes some getting used to (if i remember)
