inlinesix Supersonic October 19, 2016 Share October 19, 2016 That's why i say IL6 ftw loh. All of you say i outdate. Nothing beats simple physics. It is vibration free. Since it is vibration free, engine mounting will last long long. For IL4, either have sibei tok kong engine mounting or counter balancing shaft. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beregond Supersonic October 19, 2016 Share October 19, 2016 you hump in car ah...kekekek but replace outside, agent cost 200% more kekeke but frankly speaking, buy the damn car already 200k over, u still gonna niao ji niao lan , mounting spoil, battery spoil,starter fail meh. (any i check with alot of f10 driver, even with ss on all the way, the orginal vatra germany battery last many years ) (the price from the agent also a bomb 800+ i believe) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sake Twincharged October 19, 2016 Share October 19, 2016 seriously, this is still being discussed? 4.5 yrs into my ride and the SS system is no biggie! If you hit a traffic jam, then turn it off for goodness sake To date, no battery change, No starter replacement, fc for my 5series is 12.7km/l....so what is all the fuss about? Technology is here to stay ad embrace it. SS systems are more robust than you think, so go do your homework first and see the synergy that the system has to offer haiz.... trouble is the steering wheel is locked when the SS function kicks in. very troublesome when reversing.

flashbang Turbocharged October 19, 2016 Share October 19, 2016 Seriously, no battery change in 4.5 years?!! I think BMW battery in the boot? Lesser heat = longer life. Seriously all car makers should shift it to the back lah... I don't mind pay extra $500 for my car to go towards the extra wire needed 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DioPian 3rd Gear October 19, 2016 Share October 19, 2016 (edited) i've been manually disabling my engine start/stop function since day 1. maybe i should try out for a few days by controlling the pressure i apply on my brakes. Say, if i approach a traffic light that just turned red, i depress my brake harder to activate the engine stop function. if i know my stop won't be long, just tap on my brake lightly so as not to activate that function. my only concern is if i am light on my brake & a car rear-end me, my car could rear-end the car in front, or worse, run over the pedestrian(s) crossing the road if i'm the first car at the light. i seriously doubt it increases fuel economy to a significant level Edited October 19, 2016 by DioPian 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind pay extra $500 for my car to go towards the extra wire needed You are right. I have to change battery because alternator uplorry. If not, i don't know when i have to change.

zerobim08 4th Gear October 20, 2016 Share October 20, 2016 It does increase but only 0.3-0.5km/l difference Rather do without this fuel saving than suffocate in our hot climate when the air-con is off during start-stop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben5266 Supercharged October 20, 2016 Share October 20, 2016 Yes turn off everytime i start the car If u want u can code it to turn off permanently cost about $100-$150 It saves fuel but not good for engine, battery, ignition if no good for car, why BMW still have that feature? You think you smarter than BMW? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
inlinesix Supersonic October 20, 2016 Share October 20, 2016 if no good for car, why BMW still have that feature? You think you smarter than BMW? It is a feature to comply with emission standard. I will not say it is no good for car. The car is designed with diff alternator, battery and starter motor to cope with start-stop. The only question is when do we need to replace these component?
