Cool, that's what I thought. Fyi that's not really poor design on BMW's part. It's a function of iOS providing very limited support for interacting with apps running in the background. Removing the requirement that Connected be launched on the phone would require a change from Apple, not BMW.
Of course that means that if BMW Connected were ever ported to Android (as BMW has promised for so long now), you WOULD actually be able to use all of those features without having the app open because Android doesn't have any background process restrictions that I'm aware of.
