Auto Stop-Start: Enable/Disable?

It’s great on the HEV but then again there’s no delay in pull away so nothing to annoy anyone.

coded mine to remember last setting on my BMW F30.
It defaults to off when the car starts.

Did the same on mine when I had one...
With the F30, the other solution is to have a battery that isn't 100% at the right voltage level, then the stop start just stops working anyway :P

Its one of those features that on paper sounds good, but in practice is fsck off annoying.

haha, yes, I had that under performing battery for 3 years......stop/start only worked after a big road trip.
I do deploy it strategically under some situations, though for the most part, it's off.

Honestly I think it's a feature that all cars should have, but owners should have the ability to permanently disable it if they want.

Nope it's pretty dumb, even kicking in on stop and go traffic
