This, or "consciously pausing" after pushing the start/stop button before opening the door generally enables the driver to exit the vehicle without needing to lock the doors (e.g. when it's parked in one's garage). Of course, it's a crap shot if you have passengers who open their door before you've completed BMW's byzantine shut down ritual. I preferred to the "two push" methodology in my now gone 2015 535i over this newer ritual.
Even with pausing before opening the door, it does not work 100% of the time for me. A bunch of other people have reported this problem on the forum too, some even complaining to BMW NA about it. So it's not just me. Again, don't suggest people solve their problems with known poor features.
