I think what you're talking about is auto stop-start which is an economy thing, vs keyless entry where you hold the fob in your pocket (or purse or whatever) and by proximity it will unlock and allow you to start the car. Personally I have had mixed reactions to both. I found the proximity-keyless entry nice but I'd have security concerns--range on those things can be pretty far. The auto stop start can be annoying, the bmw loaners I drove all had it and it had to be manually disabled every trip (!), as it would not hold the preference.
