Thanks for that reply. I cant believe on a $70,000 car that I cannot have some of the control I want and these two issues are standard with no user options. I guess you are right. This may be my last BMW. It makes no sense that these two things cant be fixed. I mean they give us the option now to disable the auto start with a simple press of a button. That new range rover velar is looking better to me now. I just have to wait two more years for my lease to end
