Remote Start Disabled for Warranty?

I viewed a car yesterday and asked about remote start not being listed on added features. They said it was something they could activate for a few hundred quid, but it tends to void warranty.

Surely a security feature like this might increase insurance premium due to theft, but what’s the deal with it affecting a vehicle’s warranty?
 
If you are in the UK remote start is not enabled as its illegal to have a car on the highway unattended with the engine running -- BMW cannot be sure where you might use remote start so they disable it. They might say it'll void warranty - possibly true, you'd have to dig into their T's&C's
