I just received this from BMW Canada, today.

2019 M2 Competition.

I am with you as I have an 18, really hoping they come through for earlier cars, but my expectation is we will not be included. as noted above for those of us who got 16, 17, 18 cars with CarPlay we had a binary option choice: yes ($300) or no (no CarPlay). It is true we could enable after the fact for the one time fee but it was still the all or nothing choice. The 19/20 cars all come with it free for a year then have to pay... bmw isn't really "making car play free" instead they are "ending the subscription to keep it active". Earlier cars with CarPlay were never part of the subscription model.

Dang I just called them yesterday about my 20 year subscription I paid back in October. They told me they were still waiting on details on how to handle this. How long ago did you buy the subscription?

I purchased it a day or two before this announcement came out; however, it had not kicked in yet since my current subscription doesn't expire until January 14th.
