I like that feature.

I don't like how my wife's Kia shuts the radio off when I hit the start/stop button. If I'm listening to a good song when I pull into my driveway, I want to turn the engine off but not the radio (yet). But I'm forced to turn off everything, then turn the power back on to turn the radio back on!

The way your BMW works is just like cars have been for years....there is an "ACC" or accessory position on the ignition just before the off position. That's the way it should be IMO.
