there's a bit of a difference between running an entire engine or a comparably small auxiliary heater in both electricity and fuel consumption, in addition to the fact that aforementioned auxiliary heater also negates the need to run a cold engine at all. also, since most BMWs are designed for those options it's not *that* much more difficult to install and you can also control it from your smartphone or set times at which your heater comes on. so i'm still standing by what i said, there's nothing your remote start does that a webasto or eberspaecher doesn't do better. on top of that it's actually illegal in certain countries (like germany) to run your engine unnecessarily. and not even being inside the car while it runs constitutes such a situation. hence you don't get the option. it makes a lot of sense, really.
