I think all modern BMW's after 2006 require a visit to the dealer for a new battery...or something like that at least.

You can't disable it. At all.

The only way you can override it is by putting it in L (basically sport mode for shift logic only) then pressing up to select the highest gear you want to allow. Nobody would know that without researching it.

You can't disable it? While it is something small, but that would have been a deal breaker for me if i were in the market for Cruze.
