E70 Steering Wheel - mind of its own

Hi All
I have a 2010 3.0d Sport. Very pleased with it but the steering wheel electric positioning drives me mad.
Every time I switch the ignition on the electric steering wheel re positions itself it the lowest possible position. I re adjust to get it off my knees and have tried saving the position on the seat memory. True enough next time i get in the steering wheel positions low again. What am I doing wrong?

Many thanks

Sounds like a fault to me.

if wheel position has been saved, then it should always return to that position (assuming you are using the same key)...

Thanks Steve
So the steering wheel position should be recorded with seat position memory ??
Its in for service next week so I will get them to look at it.
Cheers

My wheel position is remembered. The wheel actually should move up and away to enable you to get in and out easier when you key off the car. Mine does this and the returns to it's saved position when keying on the car.

Cheers,

It should remember the settings for each key too.  Along with seat and mirror positions.
