I have a 2011 with DCT. Proud to say I pressed the "deactivate" button for the stop/start function the minute I took delivery of the car at the dealership and have left it off ever since. I experienced it on a DCT car during the M Power Tour several months ago and it is indeed a strange sensation. It also strikes me as maybe not the best thing for the engine if you're in constant city traffic--you would think the repetitive cranking over/restarting of the engine would create excess stress or wear, all in the name of relative increased gas mileage. Just speculating, though...
