BMW with Start/Stop

[parakitoJDM]

hi Guys n Gals, tanong lang po sa mga may bagong Bimmer's with the latest Fuel saving system Start/Stop system...
how does it fare it Philippine road/traffic conditions?

in my understanding, sa 118D implementation. if u select Comfort mode , your A/C will continuosly run meaning the engine won't stop itself in traffic - thus no actual savings...

anyway would like to hear your own personal reviews of these ....
T.I.A.

The AC will run in comfort mode but would the engine also be running? Maybe there is a modification to the standard AC system to hold extra high pressure freon to keep the AC cool longer even with the engine off?

I guess wala owners of such variant in our tsikot community. Sayang, medyo bitin kasi explanation dun sa isang review sa website

The aircon is able to function even if the engine is not running. Same technology on the newer Lexus models.
