Not acceleration but the start stop system feels way better, shuts off at speed so you don't feel the on off happen. Super smooth in wife's m440 |
What do you mean "shuts off at speed"?
Auto start/stop is literally for starting the engine from a stop.
Just a little confused. |
Correct but because it's now a 48v hybrid system, the car will shut off say at 10mph on deceleration vs when stopped, using the hybrid system instead of gas/motor to finish coasting to a stop. If you get back on throttle quickly vs stopping it's not "electric" but for a few seconds it's transitioning back on vs the instant on/off. |
I think that may need more explanation. Transitioning for a few seconds sounds horrible.
If I'm slowing to a stop, but then need to accelerate before the stop is complete, it better GO! If there is a "transition" that is anything less than WOT on tap, I wouldn't be happy.
If it's an ECO-MODE thing, that's fine. I use that on specific highway scenarios only.
