As a former job as mechanic, but also now an engineer, keep the feature off if possible. It does save gas, but wears out the parts faster, especially the starter pinion gear. Cheap to replace, but access and labor isn’t.
My opinion is the auto makers only install this feature so they can say their emissions are statistically lower. It has nothing to do with driver preferences.
You can do the shortcut further using the DEACTIVATE function so that it cuts away 1 step as you can immediately deactivate at the shortcut page without going into AUTO START/STOP menu.
you can take it one step further, hold down the 'deactivate once' option on the screen and make 'that' the shortcut, it removes one unneeded tap on the screen. I have an X1, love the car, hate idrive8
@@shiliseifeddine5140 I will be in the middle of doing something, like parking the car, and the engine cuts out. There is then a delay for the engine to come back on so that the car can move again after I press the accelerator. I don't want the engine cutting off all the time for brief stops. Fine, if I am sitting at a red light for 30 seconds the engine can switch off, but not because I use the brakes for less than a second while I switch into reverse.
Own this, been driving for almost a month now. Everything is perfe.... wait, one cannot simply make a perfect car. They just have to throw in that one annoying thing. Another thing I find interesting, some times fun and some times annoying, is the body roll. I feel like this car is cosplaying a rally car and it tries to throw me sideway when turning. I tried adjusting the seat height to no avail. The car feels solid when making a turn, only that I feel not attached to it on my seat.
I own this car as well, and this issue of auto start on default and ONLY deactivating once is an absolute design flaw and a shit show of an issue to be honest. needs to be fixed via software
They don’t want you to let the engine running. That’s all. So said emission wise but actually there is more chance than something wil broke wich means 💶💶💶
Mine doesn’t have this… any idea how to fix it…? I think my dealership removed it… because I did ask and they said there’s no way to turn it off … please heeeeeelp it’s annoying

It is related to the claimed MPG.

At a stop/park, long press on “deactivate once” will bring up the bookmark option. But yea this guy is right.
Omg this will save me 😩 thank you!!
On mine you can't even make Deactivate Once a shortcut anymore. Feels like they're trying hard to make people leave it on. Worst feature ever
What is deactivate once? Have to deactivate it every startup?…

I HATE the auto stop start feature. It should be disabled by default
I agree, but I'm pretty sure it's EU law to have it always on :/
May i ask why do people hate this feature ? ( i'm from EU)

@@shiliseifeddine5140 annoying feature….especially when parking or in rush hour traffic
Me too. Its the worst, most useless PoS feature of any modern car !
That’s the one thing that drives me nuts about this, the no disable permanent start stop, so annoying, love the rest!
I despise that feature! I would pay money to diable it
Most cars I’ve had it can be disabled permanently via OBD2 port. (German Cars)
@@juelz4516or most cars has actually a physical button to turn it off or on not in electronic menus
You can hold on the deactivate button and make it a shortcut

It was intentional, so it will not be fixed.
Absolutely 100%
They should put auto hold to settings and start/stop to the button. Switcharoo
Auto Stop Eliminator should take note of this
I have the start/stop function deactivated in a tuningshop for my bmw x5. …..
What about driving in sport mode, wouldn’t that permanently deactivate it?
☺️
This is almost a dealbreaker for me fuck this feature
😂

in my audi i disabled it by pulling the shifter left for sport mode, that also disabled autostop.
In the X1, it is disabled in the sport mode.

No button needed for Auto S S in my case.
Bimmercode it off
The feature is designed to break
Your controls look totally different from mine. I have a glass wheel on the right side. This is a 2023 right?
Correct.
All the electronics on new cars IRK me. Even on old BMW’s the electronics were annoying.. I can’t imagine have an electronic e brake or gear selector
Weird in my two series it’s a button
The key looks cheap. They should have had the three bmw color in that center line
Get a Mercedes. Problem solved.
Auto start/stop is THE dumbest "feature" in modern automotive.
Just create a shortcut.
I believe this is much better this way. Why do u want your engine to turn off every second u stop anyways.
Did you try disarming this with Bimmercode? I have deactivated it on a 2023 Mini JCW Clubman (301hp) using this.
not a fan of the new interior at all
Drove both and I like the Genesis better!!!
Definitely an entry level BMW. Look at all that plastic! HUGE difference between this, and my wife's new X5.
Yep, that’s why it’s called the X1
i don't like these tablets
Big money pits ! Lexus much better
that is why Tesla is better you other automakers are like Samsung Tesla is like and iPhone
That's a feature all cars SHOULDN'T HAVE! Is so dumb
I hate that key … god it’s horrible design
It's a BMW. Means ,we do stuff for stupid reasons.
on god literally none of the newer ones have it i find it so annoying
