My new car was delivered on Friday and I've been playing about with the Stop/Start (or at least letting it do its thing) and have been pleasantly surprised by how well it works. The BMW system leaves on all the ancillaries - although I haven't tried it with the heated screen - and headlights and just kills the engine.
Whether it's actually saved me an appreciable amount of diesel is yet to be seen though
