Has anyone had any experience on getting an automatic car starter? I really want to get one for my 530i but am worried about letting anyone touch my car besides the dealer 
Does anyone know if it voids the warranty? Anyone with a starter please share your experiences!

the buss wiring system prevents the use of auto starters. [ at least this is what the starter companys say] plus some city/states out law the idling for fear of thieft.

If you want the car the be warm before you drive to work etc,
get a Defa electronic heater system or a Ebersp?cher system.

When I was in UK it would take about 20 mins to warm up the car and melt the ice in winter, this Automatic Car Starters will be good.
its not just for lazy people.
