It turns off the same way BMWs with pushbutton start do. You have to hold the button down for 3 seconds. Just pressing it once while you're driving down the road won't turn the engine off.
I've tried this on my 135i, and at full throttle 3 seconds is a long time (especially if you're already on the highway and going faster than the speed limit). One thing I have found out about the programming in the BMW is that if you stab the button 3 or 4 times quickly (as if you're in a panic) it will kill the car.
