I think you need to purchase the $200/yr thing to use the Remote you are talking about. Someone correct if me I'm wrong.
The first package (safety only), 4 years included, allows you to use the BMW Remote App. This allows you to send google maps locations to the navi, locate car using the app, lock/unlock doors, remote horn, and flash headlights. The response time is not amazing (could take a few minutes), the most useful piece is sending addresses to the navi.
