...your car already HAS keyless entry! Did you READ the owners manual???

Did you mean CA (comfort access)?

Sorry I ment to have the car start without the key put in.

I remember someone doing by installing one key with the bypass to turn on the car.

Is this possible? I have a loaner with it now... Didnt think I would like it, but damned if I love the option...

bump, interested as well

wonder if comfort access keys have an extra component in them to indicate their presence or if it's just a matter of activating the feature via coding

Start the car as usual, turn it off without opening the door, pull out the fob, press the start button again.

Check the manual and it will show that the CA remote has a battery you can remove to be replaced as its not rechargeable.
So I assume they are different.

I noticed that in the manual as well and it seemed curious to me, since I would assume that the regular remote has a battery as well (after all, it has to unlock the doors, etc). I guess it has a battery but it's just not changeable.

You can't convert the non Comfort Access to Comfort Access by coding. You would have to replace the key fobs, ignition switch, and door handles and locks. In addition - various control units, door, trunk and rear bumper antennaes have to be added. You are probably looking at about $2,500 in parts plus labor. The CA Key fobs are $450 each alone. There is no easy way to do this, and there is no retrofit kit available from BMW.

Different keys, (reg keys have rechargeable battery, CA do not. + other differences.) different door handles and more. Anything can be done but the expense of adding it will be cost prohibitive.
