Today, I will explain how to disable the START&STOP system on a BMW X1 vehicle. Turn on the instrument cluster and the vehicle's onboard computer, then press the button to access the "My Modes" section and go to the "Sport" section.

From the settings section, press the "Comfort Driving" section and return to the main menu. This way, the vehicle will drive in comfort mode and the START&STOP system will be disabled.

To re-enable the system, you will need to reverse the steps to return to normal driving. The system cannot be permanently disabled without damaging the control unit.
