BMW Remote Engine Start Activation

“Remote Engine Start” feature lets you remotely precondition your BMW vehicle temperature. This is a great feature during the hot days of summer and frigid cold winters. It allows you to start the engine from inside your home or work and precondition the interior by either cooling with air conditioning or turning on the heat. To activate Remote Engine Start, just tap a button in the My BMW app and your BMW’s engine will start, allowing your BMW’s interior to adjust to a comfortable temperature.  Remote Engine Start can also be operated using the BMW Key fob by a triple-click of the lock button. The engine will not run indefinitely though. It will time-out after a short period of time and turn off to conserve fuel and the environment. If you are delayed, the 15-minute switch-off timer will be activated to reserve your battery and fuel.
