Not mine (black). Of all the cars I've had my 2011 Mazda6 175 diesel estate is in my top 5 favourites. Brilliant car. I had a newer one too (2017 model), not a patch on the previous.
BTW sorry to hear about your wife :(
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

This is not correct for Z4, mine has comfort access, the doors open when you slip your fingertips underneath the handle where the led light is. No ridges either that I can see

    And to confuse things even more if you have iDrive under locks you will see comfort entry.... all that does is lower your windows half way when getting in. My Toyota IQ has comfort access its really handy, got ridges on the handles, you just open the door and push button to start.

      This is the drivers door handle of my keyless open and ignition comfort access Zed - no ridges etc. The door unlocks as you slip your fingertips underneath the handle, just about where the LED's are.

      If so, it should unlock as you walk near. I had a car a few years ago that had that 'smart access'. Unlocked at you got within 6 feet of the car, then locked as you walked away. It was a ferkin nightmare, cos you didn't know whether it was locked or not. If you walked near to check it would unlock anyway, so no help. Only car I've ever owned that needed two people to check if it was locked. I did manage to sort it, as it had auto fold mirrors, so looked at the mirrors. If they were folded, it was locked. :roll:

      You could’ve thrown your keys away before returning to the vehicle to check it was locked :P
