i'm pretty sure we all can but what interested me was they are talking about the legality of it.

i have never heard nor seen anything about it in our traffic act, don't know about the other states?

It does say it can be ordered for 3 series... but I've always thought it was illegal to have a car running while not in the vicinity. I've had a turbo timer and / or remote start on my cars for nearly 20 years.

My previous car had a remote starter installed aftermarket and there are some cars who have it factory. Guessing this is legal if authors used dealers can installed it with aftermarket parts

Not legal in NSW to have engine running if you are further than 3 mtrs from the car. Not even legal to leave the car unlocked or windows down if further than 3 mtrs.
Of course very hard to enforce if on private property.
It is not illegal to have the feature fitted to your car.

Remote start is different to leaving your vehicle running ,

My Range Rover had it and I loved it, too bad I can't get it on my G20

As soon as you sit in the vehicle with the key in your pocket the interior activates. Try it without the key and it turns off

following the 07.2020.60 upgrade on my M340i, Remote Start has appeared in my Connected Drive App (New Zealand) store...but it's a one off $550...ouch. I think I can manage without it.

I don't know about QLD. Regulation 213 of the NSW road rules states it is illegal to start the engine on a public place if you are not within 3 mtrs from the car. It is even illegal to leave the car unlocked or windows down more that a few centimeters.

yea great question, there is about a 20-sec delay as it establishes a connection. It has worked 100% of the time as long as you have a phone signal.

Can't activate remote start

I have just ordered and paid for the remote start from my connected app. It says that it has been activated in my car but I can't see it listed anywhere in the climate settings and it's not on my BMW connected app. Is there any trouble shooting that you could recommend? thanks
