Is BMW still doing the $20/mo for heated seats or whatever? All these companies man… not everything needs to be recurring revenue ffs.

That one gets a worse rep than I think it deserves.

You could always pay the one time fee for heated seats like in the past. It was just an option if you don’t want to pay upfront.

  • It's bad because you already paid for the hardware, any additional charge is just a money grab.

    • Soon enough they'll be asking you to pay for Storage Space Pro (lets you open the trunk) and Intelligent Manual Media Control (lets you slightly lower the volume of ads that automatically blast out of all the speakers when the car is on)

  • A one time fee to use something you’ve already payed for?

    They’ve really MBA’d the crap out of that brand and it serves them right now it’s going down the tube.

  • Really? You think a luxury brand charging a subscription for heated seats, a basic add on, is inline (haha rip inline 6).
