From what it sounds like the Start - Stop experience will work like it does on the 530e. It is very smooth and you don't hear of any 530e owners complaining about it even though we can't turn it off.
Basically, you get the engine shutting off as you slowdown and come to a stop. Starting again from a stop is powered by the electric motor and once you get above a certain speed it will swap over to ICE. That could be a few hundred feet from start or whatnot it depends.
Also, the car isn't guaranteed to turn off the ICE at every stop ether. So it may decide, based on a number of factors, to keep the ICE going at the stop.
It is a very smooth experience overall.
