I can live with all of those. They all require some kind of third party service to function. Even the map update requires BMW buying new maps from whoever provides them.
My main concern, and unfortunately this is where the industry is going, is that options will start requiring a subscription. I can see the day when heated seats is a subscription. A few years back BMW required an annual fee to hook your phone up to the vehicle using Apple Car Play. What kind of nonsense is that?
I hope the consumers get out the bud nippers and nip that in the bud.
