Why is the BMW X6's start/stop engine feature not working?

I recently purchased a BMW X6 and noticed that the start/stop engine feature is not functioning. I've checked all the settings and it seems to be turned on, but the feature doesn't seem to work. What could be the issue and how can I fix it?

Hi Mark, this is a common issue with the BMW X6. Make sure the battery is fully charged, as a low battery can prevent the start/stop feature from working. You can also try resetting the feature by pressing and holding the start/stop button for 10 seconds. If the problem persists, it may be a faulty sensor or a software issue. It's best to take your car to a BMW dealership for further diagnosis and repair.

Hello Mark, I had the same issue with my BMW X6 and it turned out to be a faulty alternator. The start/stop feature relies on the alternator to charge the battery, so if it's not functioning properly, the feature won't work. I suggest taking your car to a reputable mechanic for a thorough inspection and potential replacement of the alternator.

Hey Mark, have you recently had any aftermarket modifications done to your car? Sometimes these modifications can interfere with the start/stop feature and cause it to malfunction. If so, I recommend reverting back to the original settings or consulting with a mechanic to see if the modification can be adjusted to work with the feature.
