How can I disable the start-stop function on my BMW X3?

I find the start-stop feature on my BMW X3 to be annoying and would like to disable it. Is there a way to turn it off permanently or can it only be done on a case by case basis?

You can disable the start-stop function by pressing the start-stop button twice when the car is in idle. This will turn off the function for the current trip. To permanently disable it, you can use a coding software or have a mechanic do it for you.

I also found the start-stop function to be annoying at first, but after using it for a while, I have grown to appreciate the fuel savings it provides. I recommend giving it a chance before disabling it completely.

There is no need to disable the start-stop function. You can simply turn it off using the button on the dash. This is the easiest and most temporary solution.
