As Dennis has stated the X5 will start as long as it's in P. I've started mine numerous times while stood next to it and no pedal pressed.

When will you allow your wife to do that herself?  :))

Its a programmable option.
(Well I think I saw it in there..)

Mainly put in for the american market as they apparently like to crash into everything..

There is similar for manual and clutch pedal.
