In theory that can esaily be arranged, but the current BMW's don't have that OEM function, yet.
But you can order a car heater (Webasto or Ebersp?cher) to your car that can be
activated by a SMS message.

Hey Ric, I asked my SC about the heater but they looked at me like I was speaking yiddish. DO you know where I could get it or around how much it costs. I just got off of their website but they don't post any prices..

Hey Tonymac,
I suppose you have to send a email or give them a call.
Both Webasto and Ebersp?cher are German companies!
They are not cheap, around 3,000 Euros including installation, I believe.
I have the Defa Warm Up system, that is a electric plug in system.

You do know you can time your air conditioning right? But I guess SMS would be cooler still. Lol. And setting the time is a hassle and you don't know when to turn it on if you don't know how long you will be gone.
I tried that thing... It sucks lol...
