You can code the car to start up in whatever mode you want. The easiest way is with Bimmercode. I had my 530e coded to start in Adaptive and now my 550 is Adaptive as well. It literally takes 5 minutes.
You should probably jump over to the coding forum as well. There are plenty of videos on YouTube about Bimmercode.
If you're still apprehensive, pay one of the coders on the forum to remotely log in and do it for you, but that will require a windows laptop, EsysX and an Enet cable.
Either way, my 550 has the ASS. It's not the smoothest start/stop as I had in the 530e electric, but it doesn't bother me all that much. It only comes into play when I'm at a light. Depending on your drive, if you're in heavy traffic, just hit the button to disable it.
