Am I imagining this, or just happen to be coincidence most of the time that auto start/stop will start the engine few seconds before lights change to green?

I think it might just be a coincidence

I believe it uses the camera system to monitor traffic lights, so any change would be need the traffic light to change before the system acted. |

If they do know when the lights are about to change then I’d be asking for next week’s lottery numbers as well! As that would be impressive

I’ll bet if you really start thinking about it, you subconsciously see the cars stop coming the other direction and twitch your foot on the brake pedal.

In X3, at least m40i, start stop is very seamless when I let my foot off the brake, however when it starts on its own, such as when AC or Heating system requires more power, I noticed it's much louder, with a different noise and rattle.. Same when it starts on its own at traffic light. No, I don't really let my foot off the brake, I have to document this somehow to test but there are some intersections I heard they can communicate with compatible vehicles, or if the DAP senses the other side turned Yellow, and starts the engine?

The LCI (at least in the UK) I have no longer does this, which pleases me. no end. Probably because the hybrid start is so super smooth it doesn't need to? |

I've noticed the same.
Sometimes it shuts off as I'm slowing down for a stop light that just changed to red. I know that is a feature as well but the car exhibits better than expected decision making when it decides to do it. It won't shut down the engine if cars in front of me have been stopped for a while, meaning light is about to turn green. |

Doubt that.
1. Would it work even when car's view is blocked by a car in front? 2. How would it deal with such situation: (okay, three columns of traffic lights on the right are very rare, but still...) Definitely no "radio" intuition. Ambulances etc. have a "magic button" to clear their way, which is OT. |

Well whadya know… today in the school pickup line, windows down, AC off, auto hold on, ASS on (because why have the car running?). After minutes of sitting, car in front of me moves and mine starts up.
Coincidence? Maybe not.

When Fire or EMS vehicles were in response mode the device would change all the lights (within range) to green for us. I don’t believe that police cars had the same capability |

My car is also running when the light turns green. Because I disable ASS as soon as the car is started. ASS is an appropriate acronym since that "feature" sucks A$$.
