Unfortunately, there is no way to permanently disable the automatic start/stop feature on the BMW X3. However, you can press the button next to the gearshift to temporarily turn it off if it becomes too bothersome.

Yes, you can disable the automatic start/stop feature on the BMW X3 by pressing and holding the start/stop button for 5 seconds. This will turn off the feature until you manually turn it back on.
