You cannot unlock the car with the BMW remote app, at least not in the US version, must be a safety thing, locking is possible though. One nice feature with the remote app is forwarding Google map destination address to the idrive, its much quicker than entering it in the idrive and you can enter it before you get in the car and just open the message once you get in the car.

I also like the idea that I can track where my car is especially when car thief can now use ODB reader to imitate the key fob.... Just extra peace of mind. |

In Canada, it's the "Internet package" with 3G cellular on-board I believe. $500 extra including ARTTI, Concierge service, BMW online, Remote Services, Internet, BMW ConnectedDrive Services. |

On the full auto version you hold it on the brakes all the time at say the traffic lights or in a queue of traffic and the stop start works [engine stops]. Once you go to move off you move your foot off the brake and go to the accelerator. The engine starts and off you go.
Normal practice of driving an automatic. The only difference with later cars is that the stop start process is initiated.

... heated seats turn on to the preset temperature when the car is started after a brief stop (ignition is turned off and car locked - i.e. popping into a convenience store)
Heated steering wheel has to be turned on each time.

The rear tail lights on the tail gate do not light up!
The LED light bars should be standard across the range

To unlock the car you will have to speak directly to BMW, you can't just use the app to unlock it. I guess there were many people like yourself that felt this was a security issue.

There's an option to enable remote services on the BMW ConnectedDrive web portal ... I guess that's the difference in experiences?

I got mine earlier this week and I can add:
- Remote works from a very long distance (forgot to lock my doors at work, it was freezing out, was able to lock standing inside from at least 75' away) - 2TB (Sport Automatic with Paddle Shifters) as sold a standalone option in Canada for X-Line cars for $500 adds "Sport+" as a driving mode - Split-screen is incredibly useful! - Driver's door bins have tons of space and a divider; so I can use one side for garbage and the other for misc stuff that doesn't fit elsewhere |

It's set to 15 minutes by default. After 15 minutes, you'll have to turn on the heated seat. There's a coding for this to change it to Never, 15 minutes, 1 hours or 24 hours.

Same with mine except it only unlocks the driver's door and no courtesy lights come on

Heads on display works great and I can't drive without it anymore. Be aware of polarized sunglasses!
"4" step cruise control controller (2 up, 2 down) it's great to adjust by 1kmh or to nearest round 10. |
