Kind of depends on how you touch the handle

I have CA on my '08 135 and I really like it - though at the time I would never have paid for it had I ordered the car - and I've found it depends a lot on where you grab the handle. Sometimes I need to take my hand off the door handle and re-grip it. Also, if my hand is damp or if any part of my palm is touching those raised lock grooves then it often doesn't respond.

The trunk is also sensitive but removing my hand and trying again is usually sufficient. I've only once or twice needed to really wait to let things reset or just used the fob to unlock. I've not seen any correlation to my phone or where the key is in my pocket and both are often in fairly close proximity. I'm in CA where it's dry and the windows are not tinted at all which may help for consistency of environment.

After living with CA I would now certainly order it on my next car or actively consider it a very nice-to-have (though not a must have like the 6MT :-)).
