You can, but you'll need to disable comfort access (if equipped) and permanently leave a spare key in the car.

Park car out side would be Nice to start min or two before I leave. Seems our m3 does not have option oem or 3rd party

These cars are risky enough from a theft perspective without remote start

One of the perks of buying American. I love the remote start feature as I let my car run a little before driving off.

I never really thought I'd have a use for it, but my other vehicle is a Dodge Durango and given how hot it is here in FL in the summer its been amazing to have. I use it all the time. I really wish there was a simple solution to enable it in the M3. Such a simple feature I would have thought BMW would have enabled it even as an option.

I had Lexus and it came with remote start.

My m3 would almost be perfect if this was an option to install or come with car
