Nowadays, starters are used as generators to recharge batteries, so they are "never" disengaged. My aren't computers clever!:(

sorry, where did you get this completely false information?
the alternator charges the battery, not the starter. |
I think he might be referring to hybrid vehicles perhaps? They often use their big drive motors to start the engine as well. But that certainly is an incorrect statement for traditional vehicles, especially in the context of an E60/E61.

Oh I am sorry, I didn't realise you were referring to hybrid/electric cars.
