2021 X5, Start-Stop override

Is there a hack to get rid of the start-stop feature? My understanding so far is that it is considered a necessary part of the emissions control to have it and it can't be officially eliminated, but is there an unofficial aftermarket way around it? I like having that capability in my 440ix.

I am reminded to inquire because I got the post-purchase call from BMW USA today, I asked how to bypass it, and she actually told me that you can put it in Sport mode and it turns this off. This is a big help because it's mostly stop and go traffic that makes it a pain in the neck, I can switch to Sport temporarily.
