It seems to kick on the engine, if needed, fairly quickly.

I can't speak for the MY2021 with any definitive voice. But I feel they probably took the AC unit from the 530e and moved it from the engine onto the 48V hybrid system so you're similarly as comfortable in a ASS scenario.

But hopefully you can let me know how it is once you test it out
Logical: does your car do ASS? My 2018 530e does not. It will always creep along if my foot isn't on the brake or the auto break is not on. Do the 2020 530es do ASS?
