Eco start-stop
I recently tried to have this disabled. Although there’s an aftermarket fix that will work for pre-2018 E63’s, I was told it wouldn’t work for my car. Anyone else tried this?

It's disabled in Sport mode. You could set up the individual setting to be basically comfort mode with Sport engine setting and that would probably do it. That and of course the exhaust valve open

Did Mid-City Engineering indicate it wouldn't work? It lists the 2018 as available.

Op, not sure if you are tuned or not. If you are tuned, or plan to get tuned, your tuner can disable this function for you.

And mbdr you should stfu as we know you are an arsehole whatever thread you post in.
I will report your garbage posts to the mods and have you banned.

I am using vladimir's ECO off/on module for about 6 months now and it works flawless.
It also closes all the windows and the sunroof automatically when I lock the car, and has the VIM (Video in Motion) function so the kids can watch videos while I am driving.
All this for much less than the midcity product.

What is your problem exactly with the unit?
Do you even have one?
If not then stop posting garbage.

I don't believe you.
You probably screwed up the installation.

Thanks.

Now, how about a gizmo to enable the full intelligent LED headlight features in the US?
