Hi all,

I have a 2012 M Sport in the UK. I hate stop/start!

Is there anyway I can switch this off permanently as opposed to keep having to press the button next to the stop/start button each time I start the car?

The same with getting the car to remember my auto windscreen setting so they automatically come on when it rains as opposed to me having to press the button on the stalk?

I guess I’m asking how can I get the car to remember and retain my preferences/settings instead of having to set them each time I get in the car?

Thanks in advance 👍🏽

Stop/Start can be coded with the rights tools to either be off, on or remember last setting, but I am not aware of coding for the auto wipers.

Ah ok I wasn’t sure whether it was an idrive secret setting somewhere. Sounds more like a plug in and re code thing?

I’ll see what they can do when it goes in for service.
Thanks

Is the auto windshield wipers a good idea? What happens if you forgot about it and go thru a car wash and it get caught on the cleaning revolving brushes?

Check with your dealer. In the US, the owners complained so much about the start stop that BMW issued a bulletin to the dealers to code the system so that it would remember "last used mode" on startup instead of defaulting to on

I don’t use car washes. Had it on my last few cars and never had a problem.
