I finally bought my first BMW! Since I was a little girl I have been in love with them (yes I am a car girl!) and I finally pulled the trigger after years of minivans and mom-mobiles!

I cannot tell you how much I love this car.

Except I live in upstate New York, where it’s freezing for a minimum of 7 months a year.

Yes it has heated seats and a heated steering wheel, but no remote start. (Insert eye roll here.)

X2’s aren’t terribly common in my area and this one was made for me- save for this and no blind spot warning light on my side mirrors. I bought it used (LOW mileage- about 35k miles. I’m not insane.) Unfortunately this particular car was traded into a Honda dealership. (Which is super unfortunate for the sucker who traded a BMW in for a Honda, but I digress…) Since it wasn’t a BMW dealership our salesperson didn’t know all the details for the features, so I’ve been little by little learning and finding all these fun features. But nothing on a remote starter.

Everything is essentially in place due to the push button start. It’s all software so this is making me insane. So, please, my fellow Bimmer owners and enthusiasts, please help a girl out. Are there apps available? I know they get a bit pissy about aftermarket and mods for warranties so I don’t want to screw myself over…

Thanks, in advance, for your help!
