Push the start/stop button once then it'll go off when you open your door.
Thanks!

But will that also turn off the engine? There are scenarios where I jump out of the car to grab something at the store and leave the engine running in the winter for my wife and kids who are staying in the car and I wouldn't want the engine to turn itself off in that case.
Nope. It'll stay running if you don't hit the start/stop button first.

I'll be honest, like you I come from a long list of previous BMWs and it took me a while to realize that everything is different in this one even though things were familiar. The times I thought my car was not acting right, it was me just expecting it to act like the others...and it doesn't.

The tablet app "BMW drivers guide" was my best friend for a month.

Good luck and enjoy. I hope this fixes it for you.
