How to Disable Start & Stop in a BMW?

Model: BMW BMW Various
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this tutorial, you will see how to disable Start & Stop in a BMW, a very simple operation to perform if you find the system too intrusive. First, enter the cabin, then insert the key and start the vehicle. Next, locate the button just above the engine start button, which has an "A" and the word "OFF" on it, and press it. At this point, you will notice a red LED lighting up on the same button and the corresponding warning light on the instrument cluster. However, disabling this system is only temporary and must be repeated at each start.
