In our E91 and in the M3, if you push the button just a short time, the engine goes off and the radio stays on. If you push again the radio goes off also.

If you push the start button just a little bit longer (> 1 sec I think), it directly goes off completely, no need to press the button again.
Yes, it's different. Note that if you have Auto Start/Stop (or, for the Germans, Auto Start/Stopp) and you haven't de-activated it, the first press should be unnecessary. Just be sure you're not stepping on the brake when you push the "On-Off" button, or else you'll restart the engine. This is something that has room for improvement.
