Is anyone else having a problem with the heater not heating up until you actually drive the car? Then it takes over 10 mintues to heat up. I have a M5 with a remote starter so that I can warm up the car prior to driving but it does no good since I actually have to drive the car for the heater to start working. My Honda CR-V never had this problem. It heated up like a dream.

 

Yep,
Same problem.

Anyone know of a solution? Thermostat maybe?

 

Is your heater actually blowing while your car is running after the remote start? I would just get a block heater if it's that important to you. Engines don't warm up much until under a load, i.e., driving.
