In this video tutorial, you will see how to remove or enable the Start & Stop system on the BMW 3 Series by following a few simple steps that will guide you toward proper management of your vehicle. The Start & Stop system stops the engine during prolonged stops and quickly restarts it as soon as the onboard sensors detect the intention to resume driving.

If you are not a fan of the Start & Stop system and want to disable it, you can easily do so this way: in most BMWs, there is a button to turn the Start & Stop system on or off; it is a button with a circled A located above the OFF button. With that said, you can enable or disable it at your convenience by pressing this button, which may be located in different places within the cabin depending on the model.
