If you start the car and get out of the car or drive away without a key the e9x CA system will beep with a dash symbol to let you know a key is not in the car. The e9x CA system doesnt shut off without the key but it should instead of warning you as soon as the key leaves the car. MBs shut down without a key and BMWs should work this way.

In a MB if carjacked the car will run for either a set amount of time or a set distance before shutting off. The car and its thief is far enough away - a couple blocks - not to be able to run back and harm you for the key. You are safe and your car is not going any further before the police arrive. BMW should take notes on this feature.
