And quite annoying!

The only bit I can find in the manual about heating/cooling the battery based on the ambient temperature refers to ‘Intelligent Charging’. This looks like it uses an online service rather than an app/iDrive setting.

I’m expecting a cold night tonight so will set a departure time in the morning and check my smart meter to see how much electricity is being used from 3 hours beforehand.
That would be a way to check it. Thanks.

If it only pre heats the cabin it should only start 10-15 minutes before departure.

Just make sure your battery is fully charged 3 hours before departure.
