ACC Stop & Go
I've read a few threads on other forums and there seems to be a fair number of opinions ranging from; I will not have a car without it, to, I have it and don't use it to, I really like it but could live without it. Since this is my 3rd X5, I am finally in a position to get the one I always wanted. It also is an outrageous amount of money for a car, and as is my wont, I flipped flopped from excitement to buyer's remorse. I now have an opportunity to walk away and wait till a 2016 model which is probably only 6 months away. I am leaning towards that unless the ACC can be retrofitted which I do not think is possible (and would rather not have a dealer do even if it is) Anyway, if anyone is in the market for a Glacial Silver w/Mocha X535d, I know where one is and it is available immediately. |

That sucks. I would wait and reorder and get it with ACC stop and go. Love it the function. Also, won't get another BMW without HUD as well.

The stop/go function is horrible. It'll save you a few pennies in fuel but cost you a ton when you have to replace your prematurely failed starter. Whenever I hear someone's car star up at a traffic light, I assume that person doesn't have a clue
Also, the diesel model hardly burns fuel while idling. I actually get good mileage in mine even in stop and go traffic |

Wouldnt frequent starts hurt a diesel excess wear on glow plugs ,pre heater module and soot deposits in the dpf etc?

Now I’ve got a few miles, the ACC is really good. Coming out of London on the elevated section of M4 which has a 40mph limit, with Driving Assistant Plus - the car drives itself. Even in this very stop/start traffic. At higher speeds there’s just the minor inconvenience of steering accurately, but the decision making and execution is just right.
The only time the system gets caught out is when I get cut up - sudden lane changes by a vehicle in front are caught but late and dramatically. I have gotten used to intervening when this happens, nowadays. |
