I would be furious if I had a late June built car for example lol. My partners car is one, but she's an android user so doesn't bother her lol.

At least I had 3 months before my M340i got its planned obsolescence for NFC 😂. I'm still pretty annoyed but then again such a small thing in an otherwise great car.
The biggest problem for them is Tesla has made adding features over the cars lifespan a luxury feature. I don’t know how much longer BMW can keep it up. The only thing Tesla seems to be lacking is interior quality. I can see that gap closing.

I thought iDrive 7 was their attempt to finally compete. A unified platform across their cars they can deliver new features to over time. It is looking like they are far from the mark.
