Agreed - provided that you want parking assist. Personally speaking it's not for me, but, were it an option, I would love to have hydraulic steering on my F10.

I always just turn this hideous feature off nowadays. Wish I could default it to off. |

I have tried a 530XD with Start/Stop and auto gearbox. I must say I like it, when pressing the brake pedal very gently at standstill it didn't turn off the engine, when pressing harder it stopped the engine. It didn't bother me at all.

Anfahrassistent und M Dynamic Mode Dynamische Dämpfer Control Aktives M Differenzial M Servotronic As you can see, it only states 'M Servotronic', without specifying hydraulic or electric. However, what it does mention is the inclusion of 'Auto Start Stop'; can't see too many M car enthusiasts wanting that. |

My 530d xDrive automatic already has this option. You can put this system of, but you have to do it every time you start the engine.
I'm driving my car for 1000km's now and i can say that this system does not bother me. When you stop, the engine turns of. When you loose the brake the engine restarts again. Ok, you have a small delay, but in normal trafic this delay doesn't bother at all. If you really want to do a sprint, you can loose the pedal a moment and the engine will restart. You only have to wait untill the light turns green...

I don't see any problem with start stop, & from the BMW I test drove it worked very well. |

I drove the X3 35i recently & it does exactly wht it said on the tin. When u stop & keep ur foot on the brake, the engine stops. When u lift off the brake pedal, the engine starts straighaway. The engine restarted way before I made contact with the accelerator.

I'm not quite sure if I have it on my car, though I know it's there, somewhere
How can I find out easily? The BC/screen won't help me out atm. Cheers Robin |

It defaults to active and you have to push a clearly marked separate button to disable it; if you don't have this and the engine hasn't been stopping of its own accord, you don't have this function.

Guess that's ok if you're happy to dazzle those behind you by keeping your brake lights on all the time you have your foot on the pedal. Knowing just how annoying that can be, especially at night, I select park or neutral whenever I'm at a set of lights or in a situation where I'm going to stationary for more than a few seconds.

"In stationary queues of traffic, drivers should apply the parking brake and, once the following traffic has stopped, take their foot off the footbrake to deactivate the vehicle brake lights. This will minimise glare to road users behind until the traffic moves again." |
