and to think I was PO'd when I picked up my 2020 X6 and found out I had to actually disable the ASS, albeit with a simple push of a button, every time i started it. My 2014 F15 could be permanently disabled with a simple push of a button that was right next to the start button. Had I ordered, waited, and paid for a MY21 and then found out I as stuck, well no one would want to see that meltdown I'm sure.

Time to take a look to see in which countries ASS function itself is against some regulation ("Regulation 420, Section 100, Part XI: Engine shall not stall unless defective.") as that would give us a path to coding ASS actually off, not just ASS memory.

Doesn't Sport mode turn off ASS so wouldn't that hopefully be remembered as the last state? |

Oh okay, I figured since Sport mode turns the light on ASS button like pushing it does it would act the same.

Glad I have a 2019. I despise ASS and I don't believe it actually saves any fuel. Is this the future of motoring? Sad.

When the warranties over I'm thinking about ripping out those dumb ass louvers/shutters. Mine has already failed once on the passenger side. Luckily, it failed open instead of closed! DUMB....DUMB...DUMB design! What's even worse is it's not just BMW but almost every freaking car manufacturer on the planet has jumped on both of these band wagons! IDIOTS!!! |

[/QUOTE] You can hate it or not but it works in start stop trafic. Fuel economy will improve 3-8%. Multiple articles and tests in that. It doesn't make any sense to let an engine run idle when it is at temperature when the car is at a stop. The system has been improved over the last years. It doesn't wear your car faster the way it is designed. It is also more intuitive and less intrusive. It never bothered my inlay last cars once I got used to it. I wouldnt call it dum and useless. The idea behind the shutters is good. The engine should be at working temp faster when cutting cold airflow. If the shutters are prone to disfunction it is not good off course. I have had this I'm my last 4 BMW and never saw a problem. If you had a bad experience a can understand your opinion. |

One thing to keep in mind PHEVs and BEVs have no issues with ASS, since the electric motor kicks on while stopped. Pretty much all luxury brands are going with at least a mild hybrid system now, which should relieve the annoyance with the start/stop issues.

The components are made stronger and coated for less resistance. ASS only functions when the engine is at working temperature. Wear is worse with temperature difference between the components of the engine. I think the ICE suffers more in a PHEV than the starter liter does in a car with ASS. |
