If you think it's stupid, consider that in Europe lots of people have been starting and stopping their engines manually at lights in the city for years, so for them it's a valuable convenience feature. For us, it defaults to disabled so quit yer bitchin'.

I don't know about you but a car that start and stop 30 times a day has to be worst off than one that does it once or twice a day. Just my 2 cents.

Can you please clarify? In my E93 (built after September production) the feature is turned off by default. Is it turned "on" by default in your car?

Sure would make sense for it to be a user choice like DRLs, pathway lighting, triple blink, etc.

Right... but if it it's possible - I wonder if the BMW dealer will switch it for me? I don't know my local dealer's service group very well. Are they normally open to this kind of thing?

They are independently coding M3 with all sort of stuff, I'm sure that is as easy as a code change. search other threads for "coding" I remember not too long ago there was a thread about a website that gives you DIY instructions.

The quote I got was from the dealership. That being said I tried a different dealership initially and they told me its not possible.

Driving comfort and driving safety are not affected by the Auto Start Stop function. The function is not activated, for example, until the engine has reached the ideal running temperature. The same applies if the air conditioner has not yet brought the cabin to the desired temperature, if the battery is not adequately charged or if the driver moves the steering wheel http://www.bmw.com/com/en/insights/t..._function.html

auto start stop scared me today, i didn't know the car had this feature. i drove off the lot today, and the car turns off at every stop light, so i thought my car was messed up haha. But after reading the owners manual, i feel stupid haha.
But my hood won't close after i opened it..... more problems for me... |
