Default Add push to start

Hello I was wondering if it is possible to add push to start to an 04 530i? If so what will be needed?

Thank you

Anything is possible, but I have to ask what is the purpose? To me, push button start saves/benefits you nothing.

Just to start, you'll need a new dash panel that has the Start button. Then all the electronics behind that. And, as DavidF points out, the push-to-start isn't very useful anyway -- you still have to insert the key into the dash and then push the Start button. You may be asking more about Comfort Access which doesn't require the key to be inserted into the dash. Still, even if it is technologically possible, it isn't worth the cost or aggregation.
