I recently drove a ~2022 BMW 530i loaner and the start/stop feature was on when I picked up the car. I disabled it, but the car turned it back on a while later. Strange.
When my 2023 X5 40i is warmed up (about 10 minutes) I go into sport individual mode where I have engine, tranny, steering set for sport except I have it on "comfort" suspension for a "leisurely" drive. It's not the stop/start that I don't like it's the quicker pickup and stiffer steering in sport mode that I love.
