That's my point, why would I ever buy keyless entry/start? Of all the things that bother me with car ownership I never felt burdened by having to put a key in the ignition. That's the best part!



The only appealing thing to me would be that keyless entry/start usually comes with remote start, which in the northern climates would be nice.

But I'm with you as far as having a physical key goes. Never have I thought, "man, this key stuff is just so tough!" especially since every other door in my life still uses a mechanical key which would likely be attached to the remote key fob. When I get home and turn off the car I'm going to need those keys in my hand anyway to get in my house.


Depends on how you start your car I guess.

My car is also a BMW product, but it was a big toggle switch on bottom of the dashboard for Engine on/off. Pulses red when it's ready to start.
