What does the auto start-stop feature in the BMW X7 do?

I recently purchased a BMW X7 and noticed the auto start-stop feature. What exactly does this feature do and is it beneficial to use?

The auto start-stop feature in the BMW X7 is designed to save fuel and reduce emissions. When your car comes to a complete stop, the engine will shut off to conserve fuel. As soon as you release the brake, the engine will start back up again.

Personally, I find the auto start-stop feature to be quite useful. It can help save money on gas and is better for the environment. Plus, it's seamless and you won't even notice it working.

Some drivers may find the auto start-stop feature to be annoying or inconvenient, as the engine restarting can cause a slight delay in acceleration. If you fall into this category, you can always deactivate the feature with the touch of a button.
