Can not have any major faults active (CEL, drivetrain malfunction)
Vehicle will run for 20 minutes then turn off. Can't do back to back auto starts.

For the price though it's not worth it imo. The install is a pain in the arse as well
I would say though, that most of the rules mentioned above are standard across most car companies across the board, except for the ebrake. Honestly, you wouldnt want the car to run for more than 20 min anyway. Your car can get hot or cold sufficiently less time than that. As well, why would you want your car started without you being present with the windows rolled down or low on fuel? And who cares how difficult the install is if you arent the one installing?
Everything BMW mentions seems reasonable for autostart (again, besides ebrake)
