Will remote start also be possible using "BMW Connected" from your phone? That's the only one I'm interested in. Just doing it from the fob is nearly useless. That just means I can start it 6 seconds before I'm going to be there anyway.

Also, I learned that the car can run for a max of 20 minutes before it will shut itself off. But that is plenty of time to warm or cool the interior. It will be nice to be able to actually start and run the AC now instead of in previous models only being able to "ventilate" the car...which just attempted to push the hot air out and circulate the interior air (since the engine didn't actually starting running).

I'm surprised it's taken thing long for a remote start option.

I belive this feature started with F1* from the 2017', using Connected drive. It's restricted to 20 or 30 minutes before it shuts down. It's another area the EV outshines the ICE.

Nice of BMW to join the 21st century on this one. Maybe even 20th for some 👀.

It is. But you have to call and then pay like both lungs and a kidney plus your first born to have it installed. I looked into it.

I can also leave it running without killing anyone in the process.

nice. how does driving off work? on my wifes GLS you can remote start using the app but once you open the door the engine shuts off. is it the same here or can you just drive in, press the button, and drive off?

Tried this out on my test drive over the weekend. It worked great! Finally! Didn't try any great distance or from inside. They did say it would be part of the connected drive offering, but wasn't sure if it would be available as soon as the first cars were delivered or shortly thereafter.

Save for the fact that leaving an unattended car running is illegal in 31 states and countless more municipalities, even in states that don't have a blanket prohibition.

Did it seriously take BMW this long to have this feature?

Had it on my last Subaru. I believe the delay was due to the German rules on unattended vehicles.

Curious how they get around the safety issues & legal issues involved w/ remote start? What's to keep the abundance of idiots or just a curious kid out there from remote starting in their garage and killing off the entire house? Perhaps just a simple disclaimer is all that's necessary?
