Indeed. And that is how this thread started. Because the 40i mild hybrid doesn't have the switch off possibility anymore.
I think the driving experience will be fine. |
Will have to see how the mild hybrid is implemented on the 40i, does it smooth out the start/stop enough so it is unobtrusive, if so then removing the shut off switch is fine. Honestly, after having my PHEV for a month, I cannot imagine going back to a pure ICE vehicle again, unless it was something like a full M or AMG.
