A simple question from a lurker: Has anyone seen an engine start button on a US-spec Mini Cooper S? My local dealer, Keram Mini in Maastricht, has these for the MCS for 286 Euros. Does this disable the third position on the ignition switch or are both available to activate the starter? Have I stumbled onto something that is usually only available to Eurpean MCSs, a recent after market offering, or did I miss yet another staff meeting? Cheers!

That looks like the buttons from the new 3's and 5's.
