Not exactly true for US BMW's. I always unbuckle my seat belt while pulling into my garage, but if you wait 1-2 seconds after pressing the start/stop BEFORE you open the door, it will work as prescribe and everything shuts down properly. Always been that way through many generations of series 5. If by chance someone is still setting in the passenger seat, then all bets are off and the system stays on for about 8 minutes or so.
