Next, you would have to disable the auto button on the driver's air condition since auto mode attempts to react and clear the mist. This way, if the system always thought there was mist on the windshield then it will never enable start stop? I have no idea if a tiny piece of tape would work over the mist sensor, but you get the idea...just fool one of the minor sensors that has no affect on other systems.

There is an element of government intrusion that would make it a tiny victory if we defeat the default auto start stop. Call me a rebel. Last edited by BMWrules7; 03-04-2012 at 09:33 AM.. |

Actually, roundabouts are becoming more common here in the states. Now if only we could teach drivers how to get through them without crashing.

Each has it own rules ( Give way to the right on the large ones and operate like 4 way stop on the small) But do you think anyone can get it right ? No Horns blaring, people screaming every day

Its main purpose is not to save gas, but lower emissions.
Emissions regulations are driving most of these technologies.

Remember, you can start the engine on automatics by pressing the brake harder for a moment. This will let you get the engine started well before you move the foot off the brake to give some gas. I tried this on a 328i.
You are also supposed to be able to stop it from turning off when you stop by doing the same procedure right after stopping but I haven't managed. Both these things are described in the manual (Swedish at least). |

Ok, after you come to a stop, how long until the engine shuts off when the system is on? If I come to a stop sign in my neighborhood, I approach, brake, stop. I saw there was no one there as I approached, so I just want to make a complete stop, wheels not moving, and I want to take off quickly. Will the engine shut off once the wheels stop moving, or is there a time frame until the engine shuts off? I'm wondering because I can see a whole set of scenarios where the engine shutting on and off during stop and go would simply be annoying. So, I decide to shut it off on EVERY start up. Ok. But then, in what driving scenario would I then chose to leave it on? And since there is a choice to be made anyway, why have the default set to ON? Auto on/off is not a mandatory tech, not yet anyway, by the EPA. So, why not have the default at OFF? Anyone know if that auto on/off has it's own fuse? |

If it was really annoying, I would find it less stressful to just push the "off" button instead of trying to fake it out with hard braking or turning the wheel or other cheats. |

With a Automatic if you slow down and keep you foot on the brake it will stop the engine about 2 seconds after you stop completely. If after you stop you briefly press the brake pedal a bit harder or release it slightly the engine will not stop.

However, when I placed my order, they pulled a 535 series off of the shelves (kind of looks like that, seeing how they literally stack their stock here) that had Mojave with beige to show me how it looked. And, yeah, I feel it's an awesome color indeed, it's much better than most people think it is Here are some pics I took of the color up close (I made them just to get a feel of the color up close, so you wont see the whole car): http://img826.imageshack.us/img826/1...0203112938.jpg http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/7...0203112930.jpg http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/2...0203112846.jpg (btw, sorry for hijacking the thread ppl lol)

Ok, at some point we'll all just have to learn to live with it. This is going to suck if you have a dead battery. Consider that now if your battery is dead, you can get a jump start. Great, it's running. But, you're going to need some miles before you can even get some juice into your bad batter. You get a jump, drive off and as soon as you get to the first stop, the engine dies. Great. Now you're blocking traffic while waiting for road side assistance. But, how about a compromise. They could at least give us a stopped time setting. Let's say we can set if for 5 or 10 seconds after stopping. That way we can come to full short stops at stop signs without needing to restart the engine. That would be useful, cause if I'm actually stopping for a long enough period to get value from shutting off the engine, then shut if off instead of a 2 count, which is about the time one would wait at a stop sign. I'd be cool with that. Yeah, I do need to get a test drive. Maybe it's not as bad as I am picturing it to be. And, at least I can shut if off at start up. I'll just have to add another button push to the start routine. BTW, any word on a fuse for the auto on/off annoya....I mean "feature". Last edited by RPM90; 03-07-2012 at 10:38 PM.. |
