I'm sure there a minor differences but in general the features are consistent from MY20 to MY21. I get updates via BMW PressClub Global and attempt to post releases when available.
Adaptive cruise control with distance control functions the same across US & UK - with 4 preset distance settings. Speed limit control is consistent across US/UK with differences with round-abouts since there's not many in the US. Lane controls and showing work zones etc are consistent across US/UK.

Remote start and climatization for requested departure time is all there, with seat heating, ventilation if optioned with Luxury Seating Package.
I'm not familiar with eDrive facility since the 45e is just launching in the USA. I'll have the technical documentation available a bit later.
I'm sure our UK and EU forum members will chime in to assist with your inquiries. Cheers and welcome. |
Remote start is not available on the 45e. But it is not necessary either. You can start the airconditioning remotely because it is powered by the HV battery.
I don't think remote start is available on other engines either. I think it is not legally allowed in Europe. Some do have the OEM additional heather that can be switched on remotely. Not necessary on the 45e either because of electric heating.
Just make sure there is enough battery charge left.
The adaptive CC features mentioned in the press release I posted are not completely clear to me. I already have lane suggestion when navigating. Adaptive distance control seems to be something new.
