I do not believe that many BMW ICE buyers would care if posted MPG is worse by 2mpg without this feature

It depends if you end up paying the gas guzzler tax because you don’t have it. I think like mentioned above, allow the feature but make it so that you can just leave it off. I hate it too, not just because of the wear and tear but also in its implementation. In Porsches, you lose power steering and most other cars, the car just shuts off slightly prematurely before a stop, jerking the car and also doesn’t anticipate stop and go traffic very well when really it should not even be on due to safety in my opinion.
