Stop & Start

If you've previously driven a BMW or utilized its stop-start feature, you might have noticed that the engine continues to run for a period of 30 seconds after you release the brake pedal. This is due to the BMW engine management system continuing to monitor your vehicle for a signal from the ignition key, and when this signal is detected, it will continue to run.
