I wonder if BimmerCode could change it to be like my car.

Well, I looked at my 2015 JCW and the toggle is on there too! I’m embarrassed that I didn’t even know I had it! But, remembering the day we picked it up on July 1, 2015 my MA was going thru all the controls with me and I remember him saying, “You’re not gonna like this so I’ll turn it off!” LOL! It’s been off for 4 years! Totally forgot about it!

ive been driving manuals exclusively (with one exception..Jag F Type V8) for 30 years. Never had any transmission/clutch issues. But each to their own... If I recall correctly the UK driving test does say stay in gear only if at front of queue.

Reviving an old thread. I am looking to permanently disable auto start in my new 22 F57. Is bimmercide still the way to go for cod8ng. They keeping up with the latest models? Thanks. If not any other options to perfectly disable it.
