How do I turn off the auto stop-start feature in my BMW 7 Series?

I find the constant shutting off and restarting of my engine annoying. Is there a way to permanently disable this feature on my BMW 7 Series?

To turn off the auto stop-start feature, simply press and hold the auto start-stop button located near the gear shift. This will disable the feature until you manually turn it back on.

Another option is to access the settings menu on your infotainment screen and disable the auto stop-start feature from there. This will permanently disable the feature until you turn it back on.
