Quick question about auto stop/start on f8x

I wanted to know if the auto stop start feature is active by default when the car is turned on. I would hate to have to deactivate it every time I start the car.

Stays in the mode last used, and you can deactivate all together via coding. Boys have been all over this for years, so for once I'll give you a useful tip: Search.

In the US it reverts to last setting in UK resets itself every time and you have to switch it off, no big deal. It can be coded to change if it bothers you.

This was one of the first questions I asked when I got mine

A minor annoyance that could be coded out, but I was so happy to learn that it remembers last setting (in the US). On M cars, it is kind of stupid (although maybe some leave it on for daily driving...maybe).

I could be so wrong also, I keep on mixing up everything, since I use an other language to read about this car.

My guess is that this function will prematurely wear out the starter, after the warranty period. And, replacement will cost more than you saved by using it. I didn't like it anyhow on my M3.

I may be a female, but I'm no lady most of the time. As for the shaking tits, mine don't do that as well as most of the M- crews I have seen irl. Bite that boys.
