Huh? Are you actually saying that BMW and Apple customers have a “mentality” that they pay more for the name and not the actual product? If that’s the case then you clearly don’t get it.

Those figures provided proved that logic as silly as more sales are in the US. Even without those figures, that argument was stupid, car companies often change tweaks in cars country by country. Can't believe this needed explaining. |

If you don't think Apple is overpriced for what you get, you must be an apple customer. And yes, that is exactly the definition of a fanboy, people who will overlook things just because they love the brand name. Maybe 20 years ago BMW was good enough for that but now that they are just on par with so many other car brands, they don't get that benefit anymore. |

If BMW is simply on par with the pack as you say, why are you paying the BMW premium, when you can get so much more from a Kia for far less money? I paid the BMW premium because I felt like the F15 stood out from the pack as opposed to being on par with it. In my opinion it was better in many ways, in fact I tried to find a daily driver that could serve all of my needs that I would enjoy driving more in the same price category and nothing else even came close. The experience is greater than the sum of the parts. To claim that everybody wants remote-start and it should be standard is ridiculous, most people couldn't care less about the feature. I would wager that if you had all F15/F85 owners list their favorite features in order, remote-start would consistently be at the bottom of that list. I would go so far as to say that most F15/F85 owners would rank features that don't currently exist over remote-start, features like hands-free liftgate operation for example.

BMW should get with the program and it should not be that difficult to add to a vehicle at this day and age. I would have loved a remote start option myself. Also get comments from friends and family about the lack of this. Would not be a deal breaker when it's time to upgrade but will strongly affect my decision when the time comes. Just my thoughts.

It's clear BMW agrees there is a market for the remote start. They otherwise would not have created an OEM solution. The issue is that the implementation is garbage. Sacrificing a key for it and no control via app is silly.

And, for the record, the WORLD market is a bit bigger than than the US! (As I think I made clear in my OP) |
