Turn off the car when you open the door?
I just got my 530e yesterday and I can't stand that the sound system continues playing after you've pressed the start/stop switch and open the door to go out. Is there a setting somewhere where I can set the car to completely turn off when I open the door to get out?

If it's the same as the F10, you need to press the start/stop button a second time (without your foot on the brake or the engine will start again) to turn off the ignition. Hope this helps!

Another trick is to press and hold the radio button.
If you leave the car unlocked in a garage without it set to shut off, it will kill the battery. Using the radio button as a habit ensures this won't happen.

I am not sure this issue has been resolved.
I tried many times by leaving driver’s seat belt on then open the door. The engine and aircon still on as I expected. So, i ordered a seat belt dummy from eBay but not yet rcvd. Hope I solved this issue. |

It shuts down fully once I lock the car. So I haven’t paid much attention to it.
For the 530e this wouldn’t happen as long as the car is plugged in or has a charged HV battery. The 530e charges the car battery from the hybrid high voltage battery. Last edited by LogicalApex; 05-09-2020 at 03:46 PM.. Reason: clarification |

On my 530e once I turn the car off I have the option of leaving the AC on for 30 minutes via any of these three options
All require some charge in the hybrid battery for AC. |
