If this is the case, it would be quite annoying. Think about it, without CA you have to get the key fob out and press a button to unlock the car door. Then you get into the car and you don't need the key fob anymore because it has keyless start. So now you have to find a place to put it. To be truly seamless you don't want to have to touch the key at all, just keep it in your pocket or bag the whole time. Sounds like a slick way for BMW to encourage getting CA.

As for soft close doors, they're not a necessity, but can be helpful if you have young kids.

And power tailgate seems like a waste. Must be targeted toward senior citizens. You could make an argument on a minivan or SUV which has a large tailgate.
