Personal Profile Glitch?

I get a smile on my face every time I drive this car :-) . . .

Can personal profile settings be deleted in this version of iDrive? I'd like to reset mine (start fresh) if possible to see if it clears up the following oddity. I have a fully-loaded car with comfort access.

Background
I ocean swim regularly. Since I can't take my remote with me, I lock it in the car with the key, then lock the physical key in a combo lock box on the door. When I come back, I unlock with the key and drive off.
Bizarrely my personal profile settings change (radio presets, seat position etc). Can't understand why profile settings aren't simply retained from when I locked the car (what my F80 does when the physical key is used) as the remote hasn't changed. If I hit open on the remote before starting, my correct personal profile info is back like it should be.

Another weirdness, if I use the key to lock the car like above, get back in without touching the remote and start the car, I can then change those personal profile settings that apparently occur ONLY when I used the key to lock/unlock it-they will be retained the next time the physical key is used as I've described. It's as though using key to lock/unlock the car carries with it a separate personal profile. As I said, hitting open on the remote with car off fixes everything upon startup so I guess nothing's really wrong. I suppose I could also duplicate all the correct personal profile settings when using the key to lock in case I forget to hit open with the remote before I start and drive off so things would be right.

It's just so strange. Has anyone else experienced what I'm describing and if yes, do you have an explanation? Thank you!
