This would seem to be a good option for winter mornings or hot summer afternoons... Does anyone know if there is an option to allow remote start of the engine (using key fob or otherwise)? It's certainly not listed in the UK. I seem to remember seeing the option for F60.

No there's not. You need to get into you F10 and start it up.
But you can get into the car without using the "key". KeylessGo.

Thanks. Did I dream it or was remote start an option in some countries for the E60?

Yep, I take your point. I think I'll give up on this one! I did see on one forum someone had done it but had to leave a key in the car for the transponder! I'm sure the insurance company would love that!

Took me a while to find the thread again but it turns out I was wrong - this was for an E92 (3 Coupe)...here

Similar electronics to E60 though? This aftermarket meddling is certainly not something I'm willing to subject the new baby to though!
