-My experience is you have to let it charge up for a bit, not sure about cold weather sorry it doesn't really get cold for us.
-As long as AC is not being used you can start/stop for a long time.
-It's really an energy saving thing, so I use it big time.
-I was worried about frequent start/stop will kill something in my car, but I blindly trust drones in BMW engineering to sort that out, and the car will last like 20 years like my ol' man's E30.
-Yes they can fix that start/stop thing, it was pressured by the US market. But, BMW feels saving more energy is more important, so they reverted back to not doing it. (so I found somewhere on the net)
