E70 auto start/stop function

Post by bubbabear » Thu Aug 27, 2015 8:01 pm

Hi

Can anyone tell me when stop start was introduced to the E70 model?

Thanks

Apologies i have been looking at e70 ads on autotrader and they are advertised with start/stop.  Its the F15 with auto s/s function. Doh!

Ive seen that on autotrader too, and i thought 2012 onwards was when the updated facelift versions came with stop / start

It's got a button marked Start/Stop.....but that isn't the same thing and my guess is dealers getting confused between start/stop and 'automatic start/stop' perhaps?

Thats correct. F models have start/stop (engine off mode to save fuel), E model has the button in place of ignition switch.
