I can't enable this setting in the iDrive menu, when I press the knob it highlights the line but doesn't tick the checkbox. Any ideas?

Strange.
The mechanical selector is obviously working if you can select other options so I am thinking either a simple software error or maybe the car has been coded in the past to delete this option!
You could try asking someone who lives nearby with CArly to have a look or reinstall the iDrive software. I dont know how/if you can do this but sure someone will know.

I had a look with my Carista adapter and couldn't find a setting to enable it from within there.

What I did notice though is someone had disabled the rear indicator cold check coding (probably why I didn't spot the right rear LED cluster was damaged when I bought the car :(). Assuming it's the indicators are supposed to flash when you lock/unlock maybe this could be why.
 
I think you might be on the right track there. Whereabouts are you located? You will more than likely find a forum member local to you who can code the car for you.
I am in Plymouth if that’s any good?

Thanks for the offer but I'll have to buy someone a beer in Gloucestershire instead. Also after a bit of reading the cold bulb check being disabled might be a red herring, as the rear indicators are LED it's possible that's the default setting.
 
Yes they are LED, I would be surprised if you could code the car to look for normal bulbs and therefore give an error because LED is fitted.
It’s certainly a teaser but keep going 👍
