Start/Stop Button

gdnyc · 03-23-2006, 08:49 AM

Finally got my E90xi!

I love the exhaust sound and the comfort access is great. I'll post pics up this weekend sometime.
My question is, how long does the start / stop button stay light after you lock the car? Is it supposed to?

Thanks

I think it goes out after 20-30 mins or so. Congrats!!!

Thanks! The 6 week wait was horrible but worth it

That's not too terrible. I think most people wait for more than 2 months. Another member here has ED in June/July. Now that's an unbearable wait.

Congrats on the new xi.

I ordered mine on the first week of March and I have to wait till the second week of May.

Its killing me!!!!!

June/July??

Ouch!
I've driven it on the highway twice so far. I notice that other drivers in Audi's, MB's, other BMW's try to race me. I only have 200 miles on the odo. I hope I find them again in 1,000 miles. HA!

This is just a wild ass guess but here goes.

I understood that the whole point behind comfort access was not having to stick the key in the hole. The car knows when someone in possesion of the key is in it and all you have to do is touch start. So maybe the start button will stay lit for as long as you stand there staring into the window. After all the car knows you're there (or have I got this all wrong?).

Try giving the key to someone else to take into the house and then see how long the thing stays lit.

I'm jealous! I ordered my 330i on 05 October and didn't get it until 28 January. And I'm in Europe! But it was well worth the wait.

What took so long? - My 320d took just 34 days! (and every one was an eternity)

Hmmm, must have been that steering wheel thing. You know, where it's on the wrong side?

Mine is on the right side, er, left side, er.... Well, it's U.S.

all you guys are lucky..i've waited over 8 weeks...about another 3 to go.

The start/stop button doesn't stay lit that long after you lock your car. The wait for it to turn off is short enough that you won't feel bored waiting to see that moment

BTW, this piece of info is coming from an owner without Comfort Access.
