So... I called the dealer a couple of times. The first time they had no clue you could reprogram auto-start/stop, and had to transfer me around to a few different service guys. Finally, one guy said that they'd have to request authorization from BMW HQ and that it would take a few days. Is that even right??

The next time I spoke with my CA, he mentioned that the reprogram is to turn the feature off *permanently*, and not put it in last user mode. I haven't taken delivery of my car yet, but he said that even if they could, I'd have to make a separate appointment to come back after taking delivery of the car.

Why does this process sound so complicated? Also, I have a 2014 model - does anyone know if the newer ones are set to last user mode by default?
