I have found the $500 option on my 328i (two doors only affected) sensible, mainly because inserting a key and then pushing a button to start the car seems overly intricate; as a $1,000 option on the F10 (who needs it on the rear doors anyhow?) where the main purpose of the option is already standard equipment seems silly. It should be standard equipment.
Wow, I actually didn't know that. That's a big improvement over the E60 but I have to agree that now $1,000 for what is only keyless entry looks like even more of a ripoff.
