This is a weird one for me. Not sure if it is a problem or just a feature.
Situation:
Start car - me in driver seat, wife in passenger seat.
Drive to post office, about 7 minutes away from start point.
Stop engine, I exit car; wife stays in car.
Return to car about 3 minutes later
...and engine restarts once my butt hits the seat! I have touched nothing on the console!
The procedure is then the same as if I'd done a remote start with the BMW app or the key fob: musr put foot on brake, press the Start button before I can drive away.
The "re-start" does not happen if I am alone when exiting the car.
I very rarely have a passenger in the car. This has only happened twice in 6 months of ownership, always with the same scenario as above, once at the post office, once at a convenience store. Seems like a very odd feature to me. Anyone have a similar experience?
