How to Turn Off BMW's Engine Auto Start-Stop?
2 Answers
To turn off BMW's engine auto start-stop function, simply press the Aoff button to toggle it on or off. After the vehicle is started, the auto start-stop feature is automatically activated. If you wish to disable this function, you can manually turn it off before driving. When the button light is on, it indicates that the auto start-stop is turned off; when the light is off, the function is active. BMW is a German luxury car brand, with model series including i, X, Z, and pure numeric models such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, as well as the M series, which is an enhanced version based on these models. BMW's headquarters is located in Munich, Bavaria, Germany, and its blue-and-white logo represents the colors of the Bavarian state flag.
I remember the first time I drove my friend's BMW, the auto start-stop function really threw me off. Later I found out you just need to press the button with an 'A' on the dashboard after ignition - it's usually located next to the engine start-stop button. Having to turn it off every time you drive is quite annoying, so I specially programmed a shortcut on the steering wheel's custom button to automatically disable it when switching to Sport mode. Just be aware that this feature gets forcibly activated in ECO mode, and the frequent engine restarts in traffic put significant strain on the battery, especially for older BMWs with more mileage - that's something to watch out for.
