Start button on 400i?

Ok so my ignition cylinder cracked after many broken keys. Replacement even a used unit is 1k. Is it sacrelige to put in a keyless push to start button system where the key would have gone in? Opinions, please. Obviously I'd do the summit racing and do a red "engine start" button. This key thing has been a huge issue and I'm just over it...thanks for any input

 

Ok I. Just asking if its tacky to replace the key with a pushbutton start like a modern car...I know it's not purist but man the valets keep breaking keys and it's a royal pain...

 

Ok cool I'll go ahead. Super discreet. With door locks etc all in. I have to say this. In 2019 in los angeles this car gets more love than anything. Vintage is so big here right now I have people taking photos everywhere I go. In spite of the constant issues and disreputable mechanics it's been well worth it. Still have a ways to go on the restoration - dash was done a year ago and the idiot mechanic in palm beach left it outside and uncovered and it peeled back...need new suspension...speedo doesnt work...but it's worth it. One step at a time.

 

I know ottos car and have been in it. He did a great job hes a great dude.

 

Thanks Ken no the actual lock cylinder where the ignition key goes Inside cracked in half...locksmith took it apart after I removed it. I wish that it were that easy!!
