The 2018 BMW X5 does not come standard with the remote start feature. This is a bit disappointing for some because You'd think a luxury brand like them would include something that's considered a basic feature to many. The good news is BMW has since come out with a remote start system that You can have added to newer models of the X5. Purchasing the system itself will cost about $525 if You plan on using the key You already have and it's closer to $900 if You would like an additional key for it. This does not include labor for installation of the new system but it may be worth if for those in colder climates that want to jump into a warm vehicle in the morning. -

No, the 2018 BMW X5 doesn't come with remote start, but a retrofit was offered to add it after the fact. It can be used with the original key fob, so no need to carry too around. The BMW Connected Drive app currently has no remote start options, so smartphone remote start is still out of reach for the 2018 model.
