Out Of Control!!
That is something I worry about everyday myself. What is going to prevent someone from pushing the unlock button on the dash?

Incorrect, they can still drive until they shut the car off. I Have heard some stories of the car shutting down in very unusual circumstances, but I don't believe that its common. I have twice had to bring my wife a key when she drove off after I got out with the key (thankfully both short trips under 5 miles).

Today i was taking a car service in NYC and was riding in a 2007 Caddy DTS. They have nice door pins with a knurled design. I checked and they unscrew and they look like they would work perfect on my E63. I have to call to buy a set and try them out I like this style the best so far. The ones on Ebay im not too crazy about. Years back Brabus and Carlsson made nice pins but im going back 10 years not sure if they still do I didnt see them on the web.

re:
I ordered the pins for my e63 yesterday from that my mercedes website.. i will see how they fit and let you all know. As for the keyless go, the dealer told me once the car is 20 miles away from the key it will shut off.

door pins arrived today
I have to figure out how to install them so give me a few days for a rept on how they look and work etc..
As for the website, very quick arrival and they sent me a 2 trial bottles of duragloss wax and cleaner and a microfiber wash cloth. Pretty sweet customer service i give them props and would use them again.
