AutoStop/Start Not Working

Post by Mr Tidy » Wed Jan 09, 2019 10:47 pm

When they are new it has an impact - my 2004 320td was in Band G whereas my 2007 123d with stop/start sneaked into Band E.

But more significantly it reduced the BIK which when the cars were new was probably far more relevant.

In the real world my 123d was barely more economical than the 320td during the time I owned them.

And outside of the warranty I'd have happily paid another £55 a year road tax for 6+ years than £850 for a coded AGM battery and a starter motor. :headbang:

Still both my cars are Band K now, so I'm trying to address climate change - given the ice on my Z4 when I got home tonight global warming can't come soon enough! :lol:
