I would assume that they programmed it to assume that SPORT would be a situation where you would not want the car to turn itself off.

I just experimented with this in Germany on my ED 2011 Manual E90 M3. If memory serves correctly, Auto Start/Stop does not work if the car is in M mode with a 6MT.

It is interesting, but in the USA our traffic lights don't warn you when the light will turn green. I think it will not be a winner once my car gets back to these shores.

I need more time to futz with it. My car won't be here till mid November.
Tick, tick, tick. I think the clock is slow.
