All cars have quirks. Try my 05 C6 Vette if you want an annoyance. It also has comfort access (keyless entry), and it's standard. Great! BUT, you have to have put the car in reverse to turn it off. If you don't put it in reverse, the engine stops, but the electrical accessories remain energized. Forever.
So, if you forget to put it in reverse, the battery drains within 48 hours. THAT'S a genuine annoyance, and to really make things fun, the doors are operated only by electrical relays, no mechanical handle. So, if you don't have your single key to open the trunk when the battery dies, you're really up the creek. Apparently a DOT rule about reverse and keyless entry for 05 models....
Oh, and I find I put the E90 in reverse when I shut the engine down, out of pure habit now...
