Yes; you can turn off Auto Start/Stop (or ASS)
I noticed while driving a loaner F30; the ASS wouldn't activate. I was under the (ass)umption that it was always active unless you manually turn it off.
Notes from the Manual:
The engine is not switched off automatically in
the following situations:
▷ External temperatures below approx.
37 ℉/+3 ℃.
▷ High external temperature and operation of
the automatic climate control.
▷ The interior is not yet heated or cooled as
much as desired.
▷ The engine is not yet at operating temperature.
▷ Sharp steering angle or the steering wheel
is being turned.
▷ After driving in reverse.
▷ Fogging of the windows when the automatic
climate control is switched on.
▷ Vehicle battery charge is very low.
▷ Hood is unlocked.
▷ HDC is activated.
▷ Stop-and-go traffic.
▷ The selector lever is in position N or S/M.
