How do I disable the automatic start-stop feature in my BMW 4 Series?

I find the automatic start-stop feature to be annoying and want to know how to disable it. Is there a way to permanently turn off this feature?

The first step is to press the 'Auto Start Stop' button on the center console to turn off the feature temporarily. However, to permanently disable it, you will need to take your car to a BMW dealership or a certified mechanic. They can use a special coding tool to disable the feature for you.

You can also purchase a coding tool yourself and disable the feature at home. However, this may void your warranty so make sure to proceed with caution.
