On the contrary, I think BMW has executed the feature quite well. Go drive vehicles from other manufacturers and you'll see how rough and unrefined the start/stop can be. Recent drives in GM and Volvo vehicles were miserable with far worse lag and vibration. I find it to be seamless and almost unnoticeable in my 50i, and I've had passengers not even know it happened. However, like most people here, I rarely use it.
