How do I turn off the automatic start-stop function on my BMW X1?

The start-stop function automatically shuts off the engine when the car comes to a stop, is there a way to disable this feature?

To disable the automatic start-stop function, you can press the button on the center console that looks like an 'A' with an arrow around it. This will temporarily disable the function until you turn off your car. You can also permanently turn off the function by going into the iDrive settings.

If you turn off the automatic start-stop function, it may result in higher fuel consumption and emissions. I recommend leaving it on as it helps with fuel efficiency, but if it is causing any issues, you can turn it off using the button on the center console or through the iDrive menu.

One way to avoid the start-stop function from turning on is by using the Sport mode while driving. This will keep the engine running even when stopped. But keep in mind that this will also affect your fuel efficiency. If you still want to permanently disable the feature, you can do so through the iDrive settings.
