I've got a 2014 and I have used the "My BMW Remote US" app although not in the last couple weeks (I would frequently use it to turn on the ventilation fans about 20 minutes before I get to my car from the GO train). The functionality I have used is:
- Turning on ventilation remotely
- Flashing lights remotely
- Horn
- Lock remotely
- Send locations (both using the app and also from Google Maps directly from PCs, etc)
The app won't let you unlock remotely, it will tell you to call BMW Assist and provide a password to unlock it.
I have had a couple instances where the app would not send remote functionality through, in those cases I've just ended up waiting a few days and it would randomly start working again. It hasn't been super reliable for me but it has been useful on occasion.
I seem to remember that as part of the delivery process I was told that I had to activate some of the remote services by talking to someone through BMW Assist? I can't really remember anymore, you could just try using one of the BMW Assist options from the car or ask your SA or delivery specialist, they should be able to tell you what steps might be required.
