@TerraOrBust There could be a plug in device to do this at startup. I installed one in an S-Max recently to turn off the auto start-stop. It remembers the last state and sets it when the car is started.
I hate start-stop. Most engine damage occurs at startup.
@varzecs@OnDisasters BMW was taking the racing line. He hadn't seen the Porsche. If he was yielding, he should have used his right indicator to signal that. He didn't. Porsche should not have tried to overtake.
