Total Time Stopped - Auto Start/Stop

I must admit, as a city driver, I am not as put off by the Auto Start Stop feature in my 2012 528i as are are many regulars on this forum.

I was wondering if there is a way for the car to display/measure how much time you have spent with the engine off due to Start Stop?

I imagine it being displayed as a function of cumulative minutes/hours, or broken down by trip, much the same way the trip computer can be adjusted to see trip MPG vs cumulative MPG.

I know it isn't saving a TON of gas by being stopped for 30 seconds at a light, but I'd be very curious to know how much total time I spend sitting with my engine off during trips, and over the lifetime of my car.

Is this possible? Or did I miss something in the manual or buried in the options of eco pro?
