What's an "internet connection"? Wifi? The car needs cellular signal for remote start, no other "internet connection" is valid.

You're right. Ideally I like to leave the car their without doing anything. Can't imagine what will happen if the remote engine start doesn't shutdown automatically

With 5 weeks of inactivity coming up for my '19 40i I've been wondering about the same thing. Did not have an issue with the same time period on my F15, but I believe the G05 has a greater parasitic load when parked.
Emailed the dealership with whether they thought a trickle charger would be needed and the response was; "From what we see, you will need to put the vehicle on a trickle charger or battery tender. Usually about the 3 week mark the car starts shutting off systems to preserve the battery." The dealership certainly has experience with vehicles sitting around, not being driven, so I give their recommendation some weight. I expect they're being conservative, but am strongly considering procuring a trickle charger for this upcoming period of inactivity. |

I don't think you'll have a problem starting after a month cold, but I have noticed when I don't top off the charge every couple of weeks (garaged) that little gremlins start to show up in the tech features (no display in the center of the instrument cluster for example, or the Weather window in the Home screen going blank, or auto-lock not working). Rebooting has invariably corrected the glitches, but they don't seem to appear if the battery is kept full.

While G05 X5 may or may not be fine parked for 1-2 months and that experience is still in discovery phase here, what is certain, however, is that one cannot compare old-tech cars and new-tech cars in parasitic battery drain and G05 X5 is by far the most new-tech BMW.
