Once purchased, will Remote Engine Start need to be renewed?

After purchase, the vehicle will have the Remote Engine Start option for as long as technically capable by using the remote key fob.  However, an active ConnectedDrive subscription is required to use the Remote Engine Start feature from the My BMW App.
