I even been doing research about it and only found this company "Eurostart" has an aftermarket one. I spoke to someone in PA about it that installs it. They actually said you need to give them an extra key fob so they can mount it into the car so the remote start will work. Sounds pretty crazy, definitely not something i would do. I asked about installation and they said it would cost around $1,200

As soon as the key goes out of range, the horn will sound twice. Then it keeps happening every 15-20 seconds until the key comes back into range... |

Edit: "Vehicle idling is an offence against the Road Traffic (Vehicle Emissions) (Fixed Penalty) (England) Regulations 2002. The law states that is an offence to idle your engine unnecessarily when stationary. If you fail to turn your engine off after being spoken to you may be issued with a fixed penalty notice of £20." https://www.dudley.gov.uk/business/e...air-pollution/ |

The law states: "When using vehicles, unnecessary noise and avoidable exhaust pollution are prohibited. In particular, it is prohibited to run vehicle engines unnecessarily [...]" Fine for violation is €80,- Same in France: https://www.thelocal.fr/20190304/swi...egal-in-france So remote start will never be available in Europe and thats the reason why BMW and other car manufacturers are offering the small stand alone heater. |

No, the engine will run as long as it's not switched off. Even with the key sitting at home on your desk.
Only thing will be a few messages in the dash pointing out the key is not inside the car. |

It may be illegal to leave engine running but it doesn't stop other manufactures like Land Rover installing remote start in their vehicles. The Discovery does it.
Like the above post I just start the car and leave it. I have Ghost 2 fitted so even with the keys left in the car un-locked they couldn't steel it. |

Current thinking is it will come with the 2022 MY and full iDrive7. My wife stopped looking at current X3's since they don't have remote start and it's very expensive to add an aftermarket solution.

My wife and I just purchased a G01 with all the packages and were shocked that it didn't have remote start, neither does my f32 but that car is 6 years old and didn't have the technology package (not even sure if it was an option for the 4series in 2015), yet my 13 base model Altima came with it as standard on the key fob....
