The START&STOP button, like all buttons in the vehicle, is subject to wear and can be replaced with a new, high-performance one. To replace it on a BMW 1 Series vehicle, insert a small screwdriver into the edge of the button to remove it. Next, use the same flat screwdriver to remove the worn button.

Insert a new button and close the edge simply by pushing the button.

Finally, start the vehicle's engine and press the button to check its functionality.
