I find it hilarious. With the paranoia and whatnot.

I wonder if the performance center takes special requests like this...

That's not how sport mode works? Jesus, this car is really just a pile of diluted dog poo poo. I better order more replacement parts for my ZHP.

Great news. Good move by BMW

Lots of people seem to want this feature disabled. But surely thats one of the major features of this new engine, it shuts off when not required. Why would you not want the engine to shut off? (high power and air con requirements will fire up the engine again when required by default for example so its not like ur going to roast)

For the same reason I don't want my car to change gears for me either

This thread is in the wrong forum. This should all be in the 3 Series forum. Z4 does not have auto start/stop.

To get even, I'm going to go over to their forum and post about the DCT
