How do I turn off auto start-stop in my BMW X5?

I find the auto start-stop feature to be quite annoying and I want to turn it off. Is there a way to do this?

Yes, there is a way to turn off auto start-stop in the BMW X5. You can press the 'Drive Performance Control' button on the center console and select 'comfort' mode, which will turn off the auto start-stop feature.

Another way to turn off auto start-stop is by pressing the 'i' button on the steering wheel, then selecting 'Driving Experience Control' and choosing 'comfort' mode. This will also disable the feature.

I personally find the auto start-stop feature to be quite useful for saving fuel and reducing emissions. However, if you would still like to turn it off, you can hold down the 'Auto Start Stop' button on the center console for 3 seconds to permanently disable it.
