I have been told it is required on all gasoline powered passenger vehicles sold in the USA courtesy of our all seeing and all knowing government. My 2017 BMW X5 xDrive50i has it. When mine is turned off it remains turned off when I restart the engine although at times I inadvertently push the button which is adjacent the starter button on the vehicle, thereby reactivating this extremely annoying feature.
