How do I turn off the auto start/stop function in my BMW 7 Series?

I find it annoying and I want the option to disable it. It's also not good for the engine, right?

The auto start/stop function can be turned off by pressing the button next to the gear shift. Make sure you do this every time you start your car if you want to disable it.

Yes, constantly stopping and starting your engine can contribute to wear and tear on the engine and other components. It's a good idea to turn off the auto start/stop function if you can.

To permanently disable the auto start/stop function, you can have your car's software reprogrammed at a BMW dealership. This may cost a bit, but it's worth it if you find the feature really annoying.
