Key Range- Keyless Ignition

Hi,

This is more out of interest- how far is the key range for the X3 starting system? And does the car cut out if the key is removed when running?

The reason I ask the question- the other day I started the X3, then drove the car around to my garage, got out of the car with the key to unlock the garage.
I thought that the engine would stop because the key was no longer in the car, but it didn't.
I'm starting to think that once the car is running it doesn't check for key presence until you try to start it again.
So could I (in theory), start the car, put the keys in house and then drive off? Use this for Valet parking?
