Stalling Issues?
Is anyone else experiencing stalling issues when using the start/stop feature? I have now stalled 3 times from a stop when the car fails to turn over.
Any insight would be great... I'll be taking it in to the dealer regardless. |

No stalling problems - that's pretty serious.
But, the shutdown and restart if I'm stopped in traffic for just a few seconds is an annoyance. It's also so uncharacteristic of a smooth running BMW engine because it's rough and noisy - Feels and sounds CHEAP and I didn't pay $70K for my passengers to look at me with an astonished glare ... as if to say, THIS is a BMW?!?! I've only driven about 7K miles since I bought my '13 535xDrive (this past December). My dealer SA tells me to let him know when I want to turn the feature off. But I think I'm more inclined to have the car coded to 'remember' the last setting because I can see there might be times when the auto stop - start could apply to my drive.

Not a fan of auto off/start. The LCI................ supposedly the drivetrain disengages when coasting. Scares me.
