I travel all the time for business. The e70 is left in the garage for 3 weeks at a time without driving or starting. Total driving of only 4000 miles a year. It has started up with no issues for the past 2 years.

Yes, I have Comfort Access. Per my SA, for my 2010 750i, they told me to keep my keys at least 50 feet from the car when parked. Again, total crap they we BMW owners have to think about where we keep our keys, but to play it safe, I keep my keys on a hanging key rack in the kitchen, which is about 150 feet from the garage (maybe farther)
