The auto start has stronger components I don`t think. The early mk2 mini did not have the auto start and I do not think BMW would put more costly parts into the later MK2.
I consider the auto start should default on off and then let the driver decide to switch it on if he felt it was necessary. Not only will the system put undue wear on the mechanics it will also shorten the life of the battery.
Glue it down or tape it down.
