To your point about timing of staring the engine: The ones with the key works exactly the same as a button. You just turn once (instead of push), the car will start using the exact timing.

I have to agree that it looks nice. But then without CA, it just one extra step to start the car.?

Right, the old style key on the 545i works just like the start button, except that it's a little hard to get used to barely turning the key and then letting off immediately. I like the start buttons I have used in Europe. I would like to have one. I don't know why exactly. To me, using them is more comfortable than turning a key. Also, at least some relatively inexpensive cars in Europe (e.g., Miganes) have start buttons--not just pricey european cars.
