Also, there are quite a few variables that have to be met in order for Auto-Off to engage even when it is on. For instance:
If the engine has not yet reached optimal temperature, AO won't engage.
If the outside temperature is below 35 degrees or above 85 degrees Fahrenheit, AO won't engage.
If the front wheels are turned more than [x] degrees, AO won't engage. (I couldn't remember the number.)
If there is too much load on the engine (i.e., AC is at max), AO won't engage.
There were roughly 10-15 circumstances where AO wouldn't activate even if it was left "on".
I don't remember all of them, but there's probably something written more about these exceptions on one of BMW's websites.
