That is when the buddy realizes, he doesn't have the plastic comfort access key because the owner has it in his pocket & is 30,000 feet up in the sky. Now, he can't re-start the car nor can he lock it up and has to get someone to bring him a spare key.

Yes, when you leave the car, the warning sign lights up stating the key is out of range, but the engine will continue to run until hit the STOP button.

Anyhow, look at the PDF file, I am sure Josh mounted the camera on the M5's rear end. I am sure you can do the same on your E90.
In my wife's RL this happens lot when she has the keyfob and I am driving. First it gives a message in orange on the dash that comfort key is missing with a beep, and this happens the moment she is a feet away from the car. Second, if I am in the car and shifter is in park it will not move till she gets back in car.

Woohoo!! My 4000th post!!
