BMW 530e Auto start/stop function

redeckis · 11-29-2022, 02:50 AM

Hi all,

I was driving to work today and messaged popped up saying:

"Engine will not start automatically. Press the start/stop button to start the engine."
I was driving on battery control mode as I had only few miles left on electricity. The car went to full electric mode and I was not able to change that. stopped and started the car again, engine started no issues. Few miles down same message popped up and car went to electric mode again.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks.

I don’t know why, but I feel like this is something you’ve posted before. Maybe I’m in a feedback loop though…

If my memory is right. The last time you asked this it was due to the Aux battery needing to be replaced.

Either way, you’ll need to either let BMW diagnose it or get a code reader hooked up to the car to read what the error is.

Hi, thank you for getting back to me.

This is the first time I have ever posted in this group so you might be mistaken. If you can find the post with similar thread would be great.

Thanks

Thank you.
