Auto Start/Stop

PacShakur · 03-16-2022, 07:48 PM

How many have disabled this feature? Have used it for 8 years on my F80 M3 with no adverse effect on engine wear or starter but on this one, I am leaning towards disabling.

Thoughts?

Mo2002 · 03-16-2022, 08:17 PM

I hate it. It's been off since day 1.

BobsM3Coupe · 03-16-2022, 09:23 PM

Same for me.

Think it was literally the first button I pressed when getting my car after starting it up

My car has like 18 seconds of ASS use. It had to happen at the assembly plant because I also turned ASS off the moment it came off the delivery truck.

18 seconds of disappointment

It shouldn't be used on an M car. It's like t1ts on a boar hog: no need for them.

hdahman · 03-18-2022, 08:16 AM

I LOVE it on smaller engines. On an engine like a TT V8 is ridiculous, HATE it!

mjustice · 03-18-2022, 01:23 PM

How do you disable it?

Hit_Apex · 03-18-2022, 05:04 PM

I forgot this was even an option. Never used, never will

When driving around town in stop n’ go traffic in the Comfort/Efficient settings, I leave the Auto Start/Stop (ASS) on. Our engines are at their least efficient under these conditions and ASS is specifically designed for these situations. Otherwise I turn it off…

Resjudicata · 03-21-2022, 12:01 AM

Bimmer coded it off immediately

Pugnacious · 03-21-2022, 10:24 AM

Can you still BimmerCode the auto start/stop off on the 2022 models that no longer have the button to disable auto start/stop?

bmwauug · 04-07-2022, 03:41 PM

Confirming, once off, the ASS stays off? In the M50i I had to disable it every time in I started it - in the X5MC, it was off since I took delivery, and it has stayed off. Just confirming that's how it works in the MC, or if I'm just lucky

bellabimmer · 04-07-2022, 04:34 PM

I tried with carly but unfortunately its not working to disable it so only way for disable its always with button and if you switch from M1 M2 to normal mode always have to press again that button!

bmwauug · 04-07-2022, 04:40 PM

FWIW - I just took delivery of my X5 on Monday - that ASS has not been active. It's off and has stayed off.

FbondeM · 04-14-2022, 10:22 PM

HAHA got my X5MC yesterday; how do you turn it off? (new to all this)

jontron · 04-15-2022, 01:18 AM

On my M50i it is off by default in sport mode. I don't mind it if am driving in comfort or eco.

Would be interested to know if it can be disabled by default though.

I hit the button to turn it off when I picked up the car and it has stayed off ever since.

bmwauug · 04-16-2022, 08:25 AM

In my m50i I had to turn it off each time I started, in my X5MC, it stays off (which I did not know prior to purchasing it) - there's no business paring ASS with an 8 cylinder.

Brendan///M · 03-05-2024, 07:53 PM

Anyone know if this can be coded to stay off in the S68 cars? Seems like they removed the X5/6MC’s ability to save the ASS state in 2024 model year going forward. It’s driving me nuts, because it shuts the engine off before car is at a complete stop, which jolts it to a stop.
