But the light is on automatically, even on warm engine. Normally on cold engine a start stop with a line going through it should appear, but in my case it only appears when I press the button to turn it off and then on again.

Anyone experienced this? Car is still new with only 1600 miles.
The lci models have start stop memory built in, aka if it's off when you turn the car off it'll be off when you turn it back on, if it's on when you turn the car off it'll be on when you turn it back on, also most cars don't give a crap about engine being warm (bmw being one of them) so if you have it on it'll literally turn off the second you stop after hitting like 10 mph. So yes this is normal, 2 start stop is horrible for the engine so you'd want it off anyway lol.
