I haven't seen that being offered as an option in last year or two on the Canadian site.

On a related note, did you startup the car this morning? Did it struggle to start? Did it take long time to warm up?

Car was at home last night (heated garage). But Thursday morning car was at my girlfriend's house outside all night. Started fine but the remote start refused to work, which i thought was odd. Just said remote start was unavailable. Either using MyBMW app or starting using the keyfob three times. Warmed up pretty quick but i was on the highway after 5 mins.

Definitely odd why remote start wouldnt work. Hmm, I can't think of a reason other than the car was in some sort of deep sleep mode (pure speculation) to preserve the battery.
