1. Of course you are correct. I foolishly assumed comfort access would work the same across the model line. The next question naturally is - wtf bmw?

Sorry to those I misled.

In the pre-2011 model, I press the start/stop button once, it switches off ignition but radio/cd keeps playing. This stops when you take out the fob.
A long press does both. If you dont have a fob, a long press or two presses are logical and should work.
I am still awaiting my 2011 520d.

So you dont have a F10 ?

As you said... This stops when you take out the fob ??

You dont have to insert your key/fob in the F10

I will have the 2011 520d soon, just ordering it. Currently I have the 2008 model.

The absence of fob in 2010-2011, makes sense to use more than a single press of the button to shut everything off!!

This is exactly the kind of expertise everyone is looking for.

How? How many extra presses "make sense"?
