Upgrading to the Credit Card Key...

The new 06s have a credit card key with a push start button. How much do you think it would cost to upgrade the older model 8s to do this as well? Is it even possible???

anything is possible with the right $$$$$$$$$. I just dont think it would be worth it since there is a lot of things you would have to replace i.e. ignition switch/transmitter/reciever/door handles and probably more to make it work. I just dont think it would be worth the money. IMHO

it would be cool if we could have a transmitter attached to the ignition. I don't care for the keyless entry, but the keyless start is cool.

Actually they don't have a push start button. Its just a plastic piece that goes into the ignition in place of a key.
