In the '95 E36 M3 I just did remote start on EWS disabled crank.
Oddly enough, if you had the key within range of the antenna when the car was initially cranked, you would still be able to crank it for about 3 minutes (not continuously, duh, but repeatedly restart the car) after removing the key from the antenna.
What we did, since there are no transponder boxes available fro that car (not even listed) is we used a spare key, unwrapped the antenna coil from the ignition switch, wrapped it around a former and put the key in it, inside the dash.
Kind of a "hack" way to deal, but the guy was on a budget. I am gonna get hold of an EWS module and find out what signal the ECU sees...find some way to bypass that crap 100%.

This is just my experience. If anybody has other info, feel free to comment.

What signal does the ECU want to see from the EWS box, is it digital or analog?

All of the transponder bypass kits require a key for operation, so you might as well use the stock key in the stock antenna.
I am pulling an EWS module sometime in the next 3 weeks, gonna analyze the hell out of it!
