i would be surprised if this can't just be coded into the M5 as its available in the 8 series. but bmw does do a lot of stupid stuff. Like why does X5M and M8 have remote start but M5 doesnt....?

I know it does. A year late and a dollar short.

My MY2019 F90 M5C has the idrive 6 and non of the bells & whistles of the idrive 7. Which version is your M5? Only the idrive 7 have have OTA updates and add in features to your car.

If yours is idrive 6 and looking to upgrade to the latest features which you mentioned, quite abit of hardware has to be changed to upgrade to the idrive 7 which not only costs quite a fair bit of $$$ and from a friend that did his car locally, there is no OTA support from a retrofitted idrive 7 system.

There is a YouTube video of my friend's G30 that did the upgrade from idrive 6 to idrive 7. Link below. I won't do it though. Too complicated.

This begs the question... Can my '20 with iDrive 7 be updated with just software to do remote start?

I dont want to say 100% no because I'm not sure what they did to add it to the '21 but generally speaking 96% no because it should require hardware to actually do it that the '20 doesn't have. It's not simply an iDrive function. But it may be able to be retrofitted...this will take probably a year if not more to find out.
