start/stop - cuts out straight away before engine is warmed up?

hi gang

iv just received delivery of a model year 2010 1 series 118d with start/stop.

the start/stop engages as soon as it gets its first chance - e.g. 100m metres from my door at the first set of traffic lights i meet on teh way to work (bearing in mind the engine was started from cold!?)

is this right?

i heard from others with cars equipped with start/stop that it does engage til the engine is at operating temperature.

although the 1 series dont have a water temperature gauge, i know for a fact that the engine is stone cold!

any thoughts on this would be much appreciated.

have a great weekend,
Ed

The Start/Stop on my E90 only works when the engine is warmed up and the outside temperature is +7c. In saying that I have it switched off most of the time but it is useless imo.
