Stop / Start Button
Hi, got my 520d on Monday and today got to play a bit with it.
Under the Stop/Start button is a button I cannnot find reference to in the manual? It doesn't seem to make a difference when driving? Is it auto stop/start when in traffic? Any pointers appreciated cheers Andy ps loving the car so far ....300 miles in! |

I do not have this "stop/start on my 550i M Sport. I just put the foot on the break once car stopped I press the off button keeping the break ON, when time to go press the start button and away I go.
I don't need any stop/start button.

I think it has it's place if long stops are found, I shut the engine off at some traffic lights as they take some minutes to change. All in the mind!!! well maybe.

Yes,only on 520D Manual,test drove one.....and ordered the Sport Auto.Manual recommends switching off engine manually if stationary for more than 4 seconds to conserve fuel,haven't tried that as yet!

I experienced it on a 520d and I found it quite disconcerting to have the engine die every time I stopped. Like you I prefer to make my own decision as to when I want to switch off. |
