Keep in mind that you read that out of the same manual that tells you your transmission fluid is "lifetime". Never mind that ZF who actually designed and built the trans will tell you to change the fluid at no later than every 8 years or 80k km... (same goes for every other "lifetime" fluid like differential and transfer case as well) As for the additional wear; while BMW has no official numbers they've released, Toyota has actually documented how many starter cycles it allows before it disables the auto start/stop system: 384,000. That's more than 21 starts every single day for over 50 years. Even if BMW starters are half as reliable I think we're fine leaving it on. As for the fuel savings, most estimates put it at about 15% when using it which is pretty significant. Finally, if the system really does annoy you that much, you can use Carly or Bimmercode to code the car to remember the last setting; that way you only have to turn it off once and it'll remember that from then on.
Its the transmissions lifetime, not your lifetime........ the transmissions "lifetime" is 8 years or 80.000km (50k miles). that is exactly when you need to change the oil. This is one of the trickiest marketing terms i have come across, as everybody seems to think, great, that is going to be 86 years! no... its not.
That's the same problem I have with hybrids. Every time the engine shuts off, the oil run down to the botton of the pan. When it starts back up, the engine turns several times before the oil gets back to the valves and pistons. Internal combustion engines were never designed to start and stop.
Hey, buddy, you're missing the point. This feature conserves fuel when you're stuck in traffic or at a red light by automatically shutting off the engine. Consequently, it has to restart the engine, which puts some extra strain on the starter, but the wear is minimal, and starters seldom fail.
Yeah you just need to be sensible. If you're in an annoying traffic jam which is just moving and it's triggering stop start regularly at short intervals - then turn it off. If you approach a light from way back you realise it'll turn green soon after arriving - turn it off. If it's just doing its job occasionally saving your car sitting running unnecessarily, then let it do its thing.
In reality the mere efficiency is just 1-2% at best. The truth behind start/stop is to reduce gases and emissions, given the current laws and restrictions. Thank you
@@WilliamTorres23Where tf do you think those emissions come from? burning excess fuel lmao. I get a COMBINED 36 MPG on my non-hybrid Honda Accord because of this feature (and yeah, I disable it when I feel like I will only be stopped for 10 seconds or less.)
I knew without looking it up. If u think about how violent a sudden start up is at every light ud know it will wear on ur pressurized lines and gaskets. Not worth it to me so i keep that feature off. Ill pay for the fuel consumption. Its not that deep
Yeah it puts more wear on starter motor and battery but they build them little stronger to compensate. It's not that big of a deal worth that kind of reaction and youtube video. I mean driving your car also puts more wear on it so it's best to leave it in a garage and walk 😅 Anyway, I had it disabled on my car when it was being tuned.
It would be interesting to compare the fuel savings vs the extra wear to battery, starter, flywheel / flexplate, (oiled surfaces if sitting for too long).
Have to get into the habit of disabling this every time you start the car. Some cars, like some Porsches, allow you to permanently turn it off but in other instances it just has to become a habit. I taught my girlfriend this in her VW Tiguan.

dont need the owners manual to let us know that much
This guy is correct, start/ stop DOES increase wear and tear. Plenty of anecdotal evidence exists to support this.
That's the same problem I have with hybrids. Every time the engine shuts off, the oil run down to the botton of the pan. When it starts back up, the engine turns several times before the oil gets back to the valves and pistons. Internal combustion engines were never designed to start and stop.
Toyota mastered it first time…..bmw designed theirs to break the car

@@artgreen6915if you’re spooling the turbo then you should never use auto start stop. The car needs to cool and it can’t do that when off.

@@dealkill2396 ah okay
I hate to be the bearer of bad news guys. Driving your car is gonna put wear on the engine over a certain period of time

Jus made a video of my starter motor failing …i wonder why lol 🧐

For the first few months I kept forgetting to turn it off! Lol
pretty sure they have the starter on the maintenance schedule
I can’t believe I just wasted my time Mr payola this is completely unhelpful
