Would be nice to be able to check when you park and know how long you have before you get issues.

It would have been embarrassing if the BMW had let me down as this week because whilst it was parked at Gatwick at 0C, we were driving round in a VW Golf with 130,000 miles on the clock when we went skiing in the Tatras and it was left parked for 4 days and started first time no problems when the temperature was -20C and had dropped to -28C at one point.
