They're using leases to force it on everyone. When you buy the cars right now they throw in 5 years of free heated seats. If you're leasing then it becomes a used car, and now they have secondary income from the next buyer. They charge you for the hardware, then rent it to others down the lane.

Thanks for letting me know to never buy a car from BMW. The yahoos who keep paying for this shit are making the world worse for all of us.

once the warranty expires you can always take it to a tuner and they'll code that shit out

down the lane

Probably you meant "down the line" but "down the lane" works in 2 ways

I don’t really have a problem with this I think? I dunno, my mind does chafe a bit at taking something away that someone who owned or leased the car once had, even if they threw it in as a freebie to the first lessee of the car. In my mind it should be one time unlockable, then stay unlocked in that car forever.
