Hello proud M3 owners 
Just a quick check on the i-Stop, is it true that planets must be aligned in order for it to be activated for a long time?
E.g. I stopped at the traffic light, pressed firmly on the brakes and i-Stop activated, about 5-7 seconds later, i-Stop deactivated and engine turned back on (without me doing anything, foot still firmly on brakes). Same goes when I've shifted to neutral and applied the handbrake. Of course there are some other times it was activated for a long time.
I've read the manual and apparently there are tons of conditions to be met for the i-Stop to be activated, like wheels must be pointing straight ahead, on a less steep ground, temperature on the outside and inside must be similar (I suspect this could be the reason), etc.
...it's my new CKD high spec M3 btw
generally if you don't use your air cond .. the i-stop will run for quite awhile ..Just a quick check on the i-Stop, is it true that planets must be aligned in order for it to be activated for a long time?

besides that ... if u turn your wheel it will deactivate. .not sure what else is there ... if you suddenly turn your air cond temp settings i think it will deactivate as well
