What is the BMW 320 remote start function?

It can remotely turn on the air conditioning. BMW 320 exterior: With the addition of the M Sport package, the 3 Series gains a touch of a performance car feel. The full LED Angel Eye headlights paired with the black dual kidney grille make the front end much more aggressive than the standard 3 Series. Of course, if you prefer a less sporty look, you can opt for the Luxury package, which gives the front end a high resemblance to the new 5 Series—a style many people are sure to appreciate. BMW 320 configuration: While the interior hasn’t changed much, the upgrades in features are quite noticeable. The 8.8-inch touchscreen iDrive system now sports a new UI interface, fully aligning with the 5 Series, and supports touch controls. Additionally, high-tech features like the full digital instrument cluster have made their way into the 3 Series, and sport-style seats have become standard across the lineup. This increase in features without a price hike is a very compelling offer.
The remote start feature on my BMW 320 is my secret weapon for daily commutes. While brushing my teeth upstairs in the morning, I simply take out my phone and tap the start button in the app, and the car starts up on its own. In winter, it pre-warms the cabin and heats the seats; in summer, starting it ten minutes before getting in means the AC has already cooled the interior. You can also operate it with the key—hold down the lock button and then long-press the circular arrow button, and the headlights will flash twice to confirm success. A special reminder: make sure the car is locked and parked in a ventilated area before using this feature, and if the fuel tank is less than a quarter full, it might not start.
