How many automatics can be started while in gear? it's a moot point.

my wife's '15 lexus remote start works but when you unlock the car it turns off, so that you have to get in and turn it on again. some type of safety feature, but we ended up just not using it anymore.

then again, we live in LA so the weather is never really an issue.

All other manufacturers that have this feature, have that problem solved. The car won't start when it's in gear. Lol. How hard is that to program? BMW should be able to accomplish that.

Huh? If you read the OP it is already programmed with the safety feature.
I'm not sure what kind of "problem" you're trying to solve.

My comment was a reply to a user here who felt like the safety feature is "annoying".

EDIT: I believe you can call your local dealer and get this already. parts may not be available, but you can order.

and for everyone saying "its about time", "should be standard", "my kia has this", it was against the law in Germany.
Same reason Mercedes, Audi, and Porsche have never offered remote start.

Regarding your edit, if it was illegal in Germany that still doesn't explain why they haven't allowed a kit for it until now. It could easily have been installed like they do many M Sport parts at the port in North America...or at least at the dealer prior to customer delivery. Also rather sad it doesn't seem to be integrated into the BMW app.

All I'm saying is there is no need to have the parking brake/e-brake on in an automatic transmission car in order to use remote start. Which in fact, would be annoying.

We can have our car start up without being in it but can't even have the LED headlights have antiglare and anti dazzle with out coding them. What a joke

Showed how messed up the laws are here.

I'm not sure what kind of "problem" you're trying to solve.

I'm sorry that parking a car safely and properly with the parking brake is such an "annoying" inconvenience.

It should be common knowledge that in both manual and automatic transmissions, the parking brake is the primary physical mechanism that holds a vehicle in place while parked. Leaving a car in gear (manual) and putting the trans in park (automatic) rests the weight of a vehicle on the inertia of its gears in the former and on a locking safety pin that locks the output shaft of the transmission in the latter. In both cases, the parking brake has a stronger hold than the transmission components as they are not designed to be the only thing holding a car in place.
In fact, they are designed to complement the parking brake.
With the parking brake applied, if either of the aforementioned fail, the vehicle will still be held in place.

The parking brake, like other safety features, serve a fundamental purpose.
Is it likely that your failure to set the parking brake today will cause your car to roll into a ditch after running over some people along the way? Probably not.
But its also unlikely that you'll fly out the windshield today while driving home without a seatbelt on, so go figure.

Basic safety features exist for a reason. The parking brake, like the seat belt, are fundamental to this.
There's a reason why all road cars have these things.

First reaction was same as OP. About time. Remember viper car alarms from 1998 then y2k you get a lcd screen remote? Lol
And in bmw fashion its a retro kit option.

Nice they caught up with a fob while everyone else moved to LTE service on board. No fob needed.

I asked BMW about their timeline on offering something through the app, I was told that they working on it, but "are trying to avoid a jeep crisis" in regards to security/hacking.

Would like to see this option on all models. I have this on my Subaru... it does not need the electronic parking brake on, but the doors automatically lock and then if you unlock an open any door or tailgate the engine shuts off. Can't move the auto into gear without the key in the ignition (don't have keyless remote so that makes a difference)...

Great feature for the school run in the Mid Atlantic winters.... considering an X3.... so would purchase .

I am yet to be in any car that required the parking brake to be on for remote start.

That being said, since the parking brake is electric, the car should be easily able to turn it on during the process instead of depending on the user.
