However, there should be an exception if you have a remote start that shuts off after 15 minutes or so. Just getting in and driving in a car in -10 degF weather is easier said than done. |

GM cars have had remote start for over a decade and are sold in every state. Don’t think it’s an issue.

This may be great for convenience, but it's terrible for engine wear. In theory the longer it takes to get the oil up to temp, the more wear occurs. In some climates 15-20 minutes of idling still won't bring the oil up to temp. Not to mention other fluids like diff, transfer case, trans, etc that will not heat up when idling. Best thing to do is just get in the car and drive moderately until everything is up to temp. Shouldn't take more than 5-10 min driving max even in extreme cold.

Seriously?!!!
This is an interesting confirmation from a BMW employee that these cars are thought of as three-year, throwaway devices that aren't worth anything after warranty runs out. A measure of a cars quality used to be how well it held it's value. Now people need oled taillights and bitchin mirrors. |

I wonder if BMW will program this feature OUT of Euro vehicles in the same way that they give us things like US MDM .. and the way they used to code out window rollup features for the US. Quote:

And people that want this feature.. likely WILL trade convenience for longevity.. particularly if it's a lease vehicle. if YOU choose NOT to use the feature... that's certainly fine... Last edited by M3 Adjuster; 10-15-2018 at 03:46 PM.. |

Very cool, the tech has only been available for about 20 years.
Better really late than never I suppose.

20 years of most other auto makers doing it, finally proved to BMW that they were in a legal free zone.
