I'm trying to get my head around why people want to turn off Auto Start Stop. What am I missing? It saves fuel in traffic and kicks in when you want the engine back again. Totally confused.

I can. Send me a PM.

I think its because it disturbs the refinement as there is a slight shudder as the car restarts. It is certianly better on my 540i compared to my previous f10 530d but it is there. There is also that slight delay and perception that the car is not as teady to go compared to when the engine is running.
I don't think anyone is denying it saves fuel although I don't think it is much in the grand scheme.
I certianly turn it off on my car and ideally Ibwould like it to default to off but that is not going to happen in the EU as they want the best emissions they can get in the official tests.

My two cents:

I usually turn off the start/stop soon after starting to drive, but it will always go back to the default start/stop each time I start the car on a new journey.

Why turn it off? Well, it is slightly annoying, no big deal, but I did read somewhere that continuous stopping/re-starting not ideal for the engine, don't remember the exact technical reasons.

At least we have the choice, that's the main thing!

In the g30 in sport mode it is off by default as well which is logical.

True, but I think that if you drive in Sport mode then park the car and lock it, then when you return for the next journey the car will have reverted to Comfort mode and start-stop mode on again.

But you are right, at least we have the choice, and so I have very little to complain about...

I think there is a bit of misinformation going around regarding damaging the engine. Engine wear can occur with short journeys where the engine and probably more importantly, the oil is cold and has not circulated around the engine adequately.
As far as I'm aware the stop start function doesn't activate until the engine is up to temperature, so would have no effect on these potentially damaging short trips. Once up to temperature, stopping the engine for a minute or so at the lights would not reduce the temperature enough to cause any potential damage.

Yes That is true, but doesn't show under bimmercode for me and Stephan says will be updated, but he can't tell me when.

Hi,
the options are not available at the moment. I am working on it, but there is no fixed release date.

Schöne Grüße / Kind regards
