It isn't unusual for the temps here to approach -35C in the depths of winter and I don't want a vehicle that just starts producing heat as I am arriving at my destination.

Grover,
My Australian delivered 05 Diesel came with the Webasto oil fired heater fitted as standard equipment. It does not have the remote option, but fires up when the X5 is started (only below a certain temperature) and heats the engine and interior heating system very quickly. Cannot imagine this item not being fitted as standard equipment with temp's you mention. Perhaps a call to BMW or a dealer will confirm.
Colin.
