I am pretty sure this cant be done but am curious if anyone has attempted to install a remote start/alarm in this car. Appreciate any feedback on this.

I am not even gonna bother. This car is very much like the new 7 series and from what I have heard from BMW technicians neither of them can be messed with.

 its not that they are hard there is not much info on these cars so its not like a GM where most wires have been the same for 30 years every model bmw is different and if something goes wrong how about $125 per hour to diagnose so its not worth it to most shops to work on them
