I did this and it is amazing!
It's amazing until they break. Which they will do MUCH sooner if you do it more than absolutely necessary - this is based on having been on the e9X board for many years.

It's a nice feature to have on those occasions that you need it, but I don't see any need to do it every time. I do have mine coded such that a long press on the lock button on the fob folds them on my e91, I assume that option is available for the f22 but I have not coded this car yet.
