I know you mean well, but your response doesn't answer the question.

There is a BMW remote start if I read the book correctly. I think it has something to do with calling the car, and it starts (I think). I don't have my X5 accessory book with me, but I will go home and check how it works.

This is correct - I saw it in Die Hard with a Vengeance. You just call BMW Assist and tell them that someone in the car is having a heart attack and Assist needs to start the car for you. They might become suspicious after a few days in a row though...

That doesn't remotely start the car, it remotely starts the fuel-fired heater. The heater is a Webasto unit, installed as an accessory by BMW on diesel models.

I know for sure it is available on the 4.8. Also, it has a low fuel consumption and runs off the optional secondary battery.
The entire kit is BMW original, but the ThermoCall is manufactured by Webasto.

Are you suggesting that this unit remotely starts the car (which was the original poster's question)?
I think you are talking about the remote for the preheater, not a remote for the starter motor.
