Unpopular opinion: I wish there were an option to change the delay to ~2 seconds rather than 10 minutes or whatever it was. I sit in traffic a lot and wouldn't mind saving the 2-4% on fuel that other cars get with a stop/start. I tried a BMW 4 series and it was not noticeable - with a bigger, harder-to-start V8 it might be annoying, I'm not sure - but I'd like the option.

Really? The first time I drove a 335i with it I couldn't last 90 seconds without having to figure out how to shut the stop/start off. It's SO obtrusive that it makes the car virtually undriveable.

I drove a '14 428i auto around town and the start/stop didn't bug me one bit. By the time my foot finished moving from the brake to the gas, the engine was already running and we were off smoothly. Maybe it would have been worse with a manual or a bigger engine?

ajfrench,
Sorry for off topic post here but I am desperate to figure out a muffler drone issue. I believe you have the same Magnaflow 11365's on your V6. DO you have any drone at all? If you see this, please post your muffler sound and experience here:

I have a convertible and seem to be the only V6 with drone. :( :shrug:
I am trying to find any other V6 owner's with these same mufflers.
PS. I PM'ed you a while back on this. :)
