No, in Australia but the cars are a part Euro spec with some of those nasty aspects (like OPF) not on the cars so they a hybrids of sorts.

There is no requirement at all for stop start at all here and I suspect it's only included to fudge the emission figures on Euro spec or semi spec performance cars

On previous BMWs I've used Bimmercode to add memory to stop start and it's always been successful. I also tried coding startup mode to sport rather than efficiency but that wouldn't bind either

In the end I contacted Stefan at Bimmercode who tells me that many aspects on M cars are not codeable. Where M1 and M2 are included the startup or stop start coding will not work unlike the G05 M50i

I'm currently looking into having it done with ESYS by a highly experienced Tech I know here so I'll report back if that works.
