Start/Stop issue

My partner has a MINI ONE and she has said this has happened twice now. Today the car was stopped on the driveway. Took the foot off the clutch, handbrake on and the engine turned off ie start/stop kicked in. I opened the passenger door to speak to her and then the engine started. She didnt apply the clutch, it just started on its own. She said this also happened at traffic lights last week. Any one else experienced this?

Na, if you open the drivers door on a stop/start BMW the car will not restart until you hit the start button.

I'm confused as to why I keep reading "in a bmw...." It's almost as if the expectation is that because these cars are manufactured by bmw, that they would behave the same?

I can compare as we own both, but the latest F series cars the software and menus are almost identical

Fair enough, we also need to consider though that bmw as with every other car manufacturer will purposely leave out functionality when using flagship features on lower cars
